Engineered Piering Solutions for KC Clay Soil

When your foundation settles, you need a permanent solution — not mudjacking that shifts again next season. Our piers reach bedrock and hold.

Steel Push Piers

High-strength steel piers are hydraulically driven through the unstable clay until they reach bedrock or load-bearing strata. Your home is then lifted back to level and permanently supported. Our most common and reliable solution.

From $2,500

Helical Piers

Helical (screw) piers are rotated into the ground like giant screws. Ideal for lighter structures, areas with shallow bedrock, and where vibration must be minimized. Installation is fast and clean.

From $2,200

Combination Systems

For complex settlement patterns, we combine pier types to address different loads and soil conditions across your foundation. Engineered for maximum effectiveness.

Signs You Need Piering

Uneven or Sloping Floors

Floors that slope more than 1 inch over 10 feet indicate foundation settlement. Piering lifts the foundation back to level.

Doors & Windows That Stick

Frames that twist and bind are a classic sign of differential settlement. Piering stabilizes the entire structure.

Wide Cracks in Walls/Floors

Cracks wider than 1/4 inch, especially stair-step patterns in brick, mean your foundation is moving. Piering stops the movement.

Gaps Between Walls & Ceilings

When the foundation settles unevenly, walls pull away from ceilings. This structural separation requires immediate piering.

Our Piering Process

1. Engineering Assessment

Our structural engineer maps the settlement pattern, analyzes soil borings, and designs the pier layout with load calculations for each pier location.

2. Excavation & Footing Prep

We excavate at each pier location and prepare a footing beneath the foundation wall. This ensures the load transfers directly to the pier.

3. Pier Installation

Piers are driven or rotated to bedrock, verified by load testing, and connected to the foundation bracket. Most jobs require 8-15 piers.

4. Lifting & Leveling

Using synchronized hydraulic jacks, we slowly lift your foundation back to level. The process is controlled and monitored to prevent new cracks.

Stop the Settling Before It Gets Worse

Every season of clay expansion and contraction makes settlement damage more expensive. Call now for a free engineering assessment.
