What Are Slab Piers Used For?

We want you to know what’s going on with your home at every step of the journey, from diagnosis to the finished installation. 

How Do Slab Piers Work?

These piers are different from other piers because they are used to bring the concrete slab back to the appropriate height. We will first drill holes into the existing concrete until we reach the soil beneath. During installation, high strength steel tubes are pushed in until it finds deep, stable soil to level and stabilize the concrete slab and interior walls. Once the piers are pushed into a stable area, hydraulic equipment is utilized to bring the slab to the appropriate height, where it is then stabilized. Grout is pumped into the foundation holes that were made to fill the empty spaces, then the rest of the hole is filled with concrete to permanently seal the slab, keeping its integrity. 

What Are The Benefits of Slab Piers?

Slab piers can repair your floor slab without the need for a costly replacement.  This solution doesn’t require heavy machinery and can be installed in areas that have very limited access. If you do happen to experience very cold weather (while unlikely in the Bay Area) your pipes will be more resistant to freezing. Slab piers also make it easier to seal the home, preventing rodents and insects from getting in.
