What Are Push Piers?

Heavy-duty steel piers hydraulically driven to bedrock

Push piers are heavy-duty steel supports that are hydraulically driven deep into the ground until they reach stable, load-bearing soil or bedrock. Once installed, the piers are attached to the foundation, transferring the weight of the structure away from unstable soils and onto stronger ground below.

At Level Up Foundation Repair, we install professionally engineered push pier systems to help stop further settlement and protect your home's structural integrity. Every foundation problem has a cause, and our team takes the time to identify it before recommending repairs.

The Engineering Push piers are hydraulically driven, not screwed in like helical piers — that lets them reach much deeper, past the active clay layers, until they hit stable bedrock or load-bearing strata.
