Concrete Piers In Foundation Repair

Concrete piers are like the support beams of the foundation world — especially helpful for houses with slab foundations or shallow crawl spaces. That’s because these types of foundations are more prone to settling and shifting as Texas soils expand and contract. 

Choosing concrete piers is like giving your home a sturdy backbone, especially since the soil in Texas tends to shift. If your home is showing signs of settling or structural issues, don’t worry! Concrete piers — or as some call them, concrete pilings — are here to help! 

These are like the unsung heroes that step in to stabilize and support your home when it’s going through a bit of a tough time. Understanding how these concrete wonders work is essential for homeowners considering foundation repairs. Think of them as your home’s trusty sidekicks, ready to tackle settling issues and keep everything standing tall.

How Concrete Piers Work

Concrete piers operate by transferring the load of a structure to a stable stratum beneath problematic soil layers. This process involves digging holes into the ground beneath the foundation and filling them with reinforced concrete. This sturdy support system prevents further settling, lifts the foundation and ensures long-term stability.

Signs Your Foundation Needs Concrete Piers

If you’ve noticed indicators of foundation settlement, it’s crucial to pay attention to potential issues like visible cracks, uneven floors or doors that no longer align. These signs may suggest the need for concrete piers to address underlying foundation concerns. 

Here’s a more detailed look at the signs:

• Visible cracks — Keep an eye out for cracks in your walls, especially those that appear around windows or doors.
• Uneven floors — Noticeable slopes or irregularities in your flooring may indicate foundation settlement.
• Misaligned doors — Doors that no longer align or have difficulty closing properly may signal foundation issues.

It’s essential for homeowners to remain vigilant to these signs and seek a professional assessment when considering foundation repair options. Early detection and appropriate measures can prevent further damage and maintain the integrity of your home’s foundation.
