Our company has served the Chattanooga area since 2007, providing proven and time-tested foundation repair solutions such as the installation of push piers. 

What are push piers?

Push piers are used to provide support to a building’s foundation. These durable piers are made with heavy-duty galvanized steel and inserted into a deep layer of stable soil beneath the foundation. Push piers are a permanent solution to preventing settlement and foundation damage

How are push piers installed?

Push pier installation begins by digging alongside the foundation. Our Chattanooga team of foundation pier installation experts attach a steel bracket to the foundation, then we insert the push piers deep into the ground using a hydraulic ram. The piers are attached to a hydraulic-powered pump, which will lift the foundation to the correct level. After the building is secured at a stable level, the soil is replaced around the foundation.
