What Are Slab Piers?

Slab piers are specialized foundation repair components designed to permanently stabilize settling slab foundations. Unlike generic repair options, slab piers are engineered explicitly for slab foundations.

By providing support to your foundation, these piers act as stable columns that transfer the weight of your home down to more stable ground. This prevents future settling and ensure your property resists shifting or expansive soil conditions.

Slab piers provide stability and potentially lift the house back to its original position.

Additionally, slab piers can be part of a broader strategy for maintaining your home’s structural health, including basement waterproofing, crawl space repair, and more. In short, slab piers are an essential component of a comprehensive approach to ensuring the longevity of your home.

Signs You Need Slab Piers

If your home displays any of the following symptoms, they may indicate your concrete slab foundation needs slab pier stabilization:

These indicators may appear to be aesthetic at first glance. However, they are warning signs of a deteriorating foundation that should not be ignored.

Contact local foundation repair professionals like Ohio Basement Authority as soon as you notice a problem.

Are Slab Piers Necessary?

Absolutely. Ignoring signs of a settling foundation won’t make the problem disappear—it will exacerbate it. As the foundation continues to weaken, repairs become more extensive and costly.

Acting early with slab pier repair can prevent further damage and provide peace of mind. Consider this as a critical part of a whole-home solution that saves money and preserves your home’s value in the long run.

Ohio Basement Authority understands every home is unique and requires its own repair plan. That’s why we offer a variety of foundation, basement, crawl space, and concrete repair solutions.
