Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Saint Louis, MO

Our inspector quickly identified the classic symptoms of a foundation settling into unstable soil at this home. During the summer's dry spell, the expansive clay soil beneath the home had contracted and pulled away, creating voids. The foundation had then settled into these spaces, causing the entire structure to shift. This is a common issue for homes in the greater St. Louis metro area.

Foundation Settlement Solution

Our team installed a foundation pier system to combat this homes foundation settlement. As you can see, it is installed below ground level.

Signs of Foundation Settlement

Pier Installation

The piers are driven deep below your home in sections until the piers reach strong supporting soils. Steel brackets connect piers to the foundation, effectively transferring the weight of the structure to the deeper load-bearing soil.

Heavy Duty Steel Piers

Push piers are made with heavy duty steel and are connected to your foundation by a steel foundation bracket. This photo shows an interior shot of a pier installed.

Engineered for Success

Our push pier system is engineered to handle the heaviest structural loads. As the weight bears down on the foundation bracket, the bracket exerts great pressure on the pier directly beneath the bracket.

Perfect Solution

Piers can be installed inside or outside of a home. Since this solution is underground it also means that the repair won't be visible after installation is complete.
