What Are Slab Piers?

When a foundation has settled in an irregular pattern because of soil instability, Supportworks slab piers can be used to stabilize the basement floor. Uneven and cracked basement floors are not only unattractive but they also pose a dangerous tripping hazard and may signal foundation settling. 

 

How Are Slab Piers Installed?

Slab piers are designed to absorb more of the force from external pressure into the basement floor, thereby providing relief to walls. They’re installed deep into the soil, from wall to wall, before being tightly sealed and secured. This process allows the slab (your foundation) to be raised to its original position and closes any cracks that may have been present.
