Foundation problems are typically caused by bad drainage, ground movement, subsidence or poor construction, which can make your foundation shift or settle. Also effecting foundation stability is expansion and contraction of clay soil conditions caused by extreme moisture and/or drought.

Indications for need of foundation piering typically are significant cracking in concrete, block, or stone foundations and brick work. Other indications will be cracks in drywall, and doors that stick or fail to open and close.

Piers are designed to stabilize the footing and foundation of your house or room addition. Piers are installed under the footing to keep the house from further movement and in some cases the foundation can be raised back to original location. Piers are typically drilled down to bedrock or load-bearing soil. Piers are constructed of concrete with steel reinforced rebar rods.
