Ohio Basement Authority and The Basement Guys have now merged.

What Are Push Piers? 

Push Piers are structural steel piers that are mechanically pushed into the soil beneath your home’s foundation. These piers are installed deep into the ground, bypassing expansive soils, until they reach bedrock or steadier load-bearing strata, providing a stable support system for your foundation.  

These piers are often referred to as resistance piers, as they are driven into the ground until they reach the point of resistance. 

Push Piers are part of a more extensive whole-home solution, working alongside other foundation, basement, crawl space, and concrete repair methods to provide a comprehensive and permanent solution. This system ensures the structural integrity of your home for the long term. 

Signs You Need Push Piers 

Homeowners typically need push piers when there are obvious signs of foundation settling. Indicators include: 

Ignoring these signs can lead to worsening problems that cost more to repair in the long run. It is imperative to contact a local foundation repair specialist, such as Ohio Basement Authority, to prevent additional damage. 

Are Push Piers Necessary? 

The answer is a resounding yes. Delaying foundation repair exacerbates issues like foundation settlement, leading to more extensive and costly damage over time. 

Push piers are a crucial element in our whole-home solution approach to stabilize your foundation and potentially lift it back to its original position. Acting sooner rather than later saves stress and money. 

Push piers are not the only solution for foundation settlement. Ohio Basement Authority also offers other foundation pier systems—helical and slab—that may benefit your home. During a free inspection, our experts will determine the best option for your unique situation. 

What Are the Benefits of Push Piers? 

Our pier systems are renowned for their unparalleled strength and longevity. Each installation is tailored to your specific home, ensuring that it can enjoy a wide range of benefits, including: 

  • Permanent Stability: Push piers offer a long-lasting solution, stabilizing your foundation permanently. 
  • Avoiding Further Damage: Push piers reach deep beneath the surface to transfer the home’s weight to sturdier soil or bedrock, preventing future settling and damage. 
  • Potential for Lifting: Besides stabilization, push piers also offer the potential to lift your foundation back toward its original position and eliminate cracks and gaps caused by uneven settling. 
  • Customizable Support: Our piers are installed to precise depths based on your home’s unique needs, providing customized support. With our proprietary galvanized steel piers, you get superior strength and longevity. 
  • Comprehensive Structural Repairs: We combine push piers with our suite of proprietary solutions, including wall reinforcement and basement waterproofing measures for complete foundation stabilization.
