Concrete piers are one of the most common and reliable foundation repair methods used throughout Texas.
How They’re Installed:
We excavate small access holes along the perimeter of the home.
Multiple pre-cast concrete cylinders are pressed hydraulically into stable soil layers.
Once the desired depth and load-bearing resistance are achieved, steel shims are added to fine-tune the lift.
The area is backfilled and compacted.
Best For:
Homes needing a durable, economical solution
Areas with relatively stable clay soils
Situations where depth isn’t extreme
Benefits:
Cost-effective
Strong, long-term support
Minimal disruption to the property
Steel piers are a premium option designed for maximum depth and load capacity—ideal for homes with significant settlement or unstable soil layers.
How They’re Installed:
We dig small access pits along the foundation.
High-strength steel pipe sections are hydraulically driven deep into the ground until bedrock or load-bearing strata is reached.
A steel bracket is attached to the foundation beam.
The structure is lifted precisely using hydraulic jacks.
Pits are backfilled and cleaned.
Best For:
Homes in areas with deep clay or expansive soil
Severe or ongoing foundation settlement
Owners wanting the strongest and deepest pier option
Benefits:
Penetrates deeper than concrete piers
High load capacity
Provides the most reliable long-term stability
Excellent for heavy structures
Helical piers are screw-like steel shafts used to stabilize foundations where soils are loose, sandy, or where torque-based installation is preferred.
How They’re Installed:
A helical (spiral) steel shaft is mechanically “screwed” into the soil using hydraulic torque equipment.
Extensions are added until stable, load-bearing soils are reached.
A steel bracket connects the pier to the foundation.
The home can be lifted or simply stabilized, depending on need.
Best For:
Light to moderate weight structures
New construction or additions
Areas with sandy or low-density soils
Situations requiring minimal vibration or movement during installation
Benefits:
Fast installation
High precision using torque monitoring
Works in soil types where other piers struggle
Excellent for both repair and new construction
