What We Cover:


When Does Your Home Need Foundation Piering?

Not all foundation problems require piering, but for severe settlement, it's often the only long-term solution. In areas around Hendersonville, where shifting clay soils or unstable fill dirt can be prevalent, homes can experience significant sinking. If you're observing specific, pronounced signs, it's time to consider the deep foundation support that piering offers. Ignoring these symptoms will only lead to escalating damage and increasingly complex repairs.

  • Significant Foundation Settlement: Parts of the foundation have clearly sunk or dropped.
  • Wide or Expanding Cracks: Large, active cracks in brickwork, concrete, or interior walls.
  • Uneven Floors or Sloping: Severe and widespread sloping of interior floors.
  • Sticking Doors & Windows: Frames dramatically out of square, causing severe sticking.
  • Bowing Basement Walls: Severe inward bowing or leaning of basement walls indicating lateral pressure.
  • Separation of Chimney from House: A common sign of independent foundation settlement.
  • Visible Foundation Gaps: Gaps between the foundation and the rest of the house structure.


Our Foundation Piering Process

Foundation piering is a highly specialized process that demands precision and expertise. Our approach begins with a thorough engineering assessment to determine the exact extent of settlement and the load-bearing requirements for your home. We then design a customized piering plan, meticulously installing high-strength steel or helical piers deep into stable soil or bedrock. These piers are then hydraulically driven or screwed into place, lifting and permanently stabilizing your foundation. We monitor every step to ensure accurate and effective installation, providing a robust, lasting solution for your home.

Types of Foundation Piers We Install

  • Suitable for heavier structures and deep, stable bedrock.
  • Can lift the foundation back to its original position.
  • High load-bearing capacity.
  • Helical Piers:
  • Screwed into the ground like a giant screw.
  • Ideal for lighter loads, pre-construction, or when minimal vibration is preferred.
  • Excellent in variable soil conditions or when bedrock is very deep.
  • Can be installed in limited access areas.
