Push Piers

A strong foundation is crucial for the safety and stability of your home. Because of how much your home depends on its foundation, a settling foundation not only threatens your house’s structure but also puts your loved ones at risk. 

Don’t overlook issues like cracked drywall or jammed windows and doors. Many homeowners across West Virginia face such challenges, but we have a solution for you. 

Basement Authority of West Virginia’s SettleStop™ push piers offer a lasting fix, designed to steady your foundation (and potentially even lift it back to its original position). As a leading name in foundation repair, our comprehensive services keep your home safe and sound. 

This page will highlight what push piers actually are, why they are a fantastic tool for foundation repair, and the many long-lasting benefits that come with our products. 

What Are Push Piers? 

Push Piers are made of durable steel rods that are mechanically driven into the ground beneath your home’s foundation. These piers go deep—bypassing unstable soils until they reach a stable layer (like bedrock) to provide a secure base for your foundation. 

Push piers work seamlessly as part of our wide-reaching approach to home repair. We also offer services like basement waterproofing and crawl space repair to provide long-lasting safety. This ensures your home’s structure stays supported for years to come. 

Signs You Need Push Piers 

Foundation problem signs are varied, and usually finding one means there are other issues just around the corner. If you observe any of the following symptoms, push piers are highly recommended:  

This list isn’t exhaustive—be on the lookout for other foundation problem signs. Ignoring these issues could make the situation even worse and lead to more expensive repairs.  

Prompt consultation with a local specialist like Basement Authority of West Virginia is essential to prevent further damage. 

Are Push Piers Necessary? 

Absolutely, yes. Postponing foundation repair only worsens problems like settling, resulting in more costly and severe damage over time. 

Push piers play a key role in our holistic approach to stabilize your foundation and potentially return it to its original position.  

Push piers are not the sole solution; we also provide other foundation pier systems that could be more suitable for your home. During a complimentary inspection, our experts will assess which option best suits your specific needs.
