Foundational Piers: What is Push Piering?

Structural steel piers, also known as push piering, are attached to your foundation and driven into the ground, providing strength and stabilization.

Steel piers use the resistance of a stable surface, such as bedrock, to lift and stabilize your home. The steel is driven to bedrock and not supported by friction against the existing soil to provide consistent and reliable results. The piers are installed and load-tested individually, using the weight of your home as a reciprocal force.
