Steel and Concrete Piers for Foundation Repair
Your home’s foundation is critical to its stability and longevity. If you’ve noticed cracks in your walls, uneven floors, or doors that no longer close properly, your foundation may need repair. At Briggs Basement and Foundation, we specialize in steel and concrete piers to provide long-lasting support and stability to your home’s foundation.
What Are Steel Piers?
Steel piers are a popular solution for foundation repair due to their strength, durability, and ability to be driven deep into the soil. Made from galvanized steel, these piers can penetrate unstable or weak soils to reach bedrock or more stable layers beneath your home. This ensures a solid foundation for your home, preventing further shifting or settling.
Benefits of Steel Piers
- Immediate stabilization: Steel piers are driven deep, allowing for rapid foundation support.
- Durability: Resistant to corrosion, steel piers provide long-term support.
- Precision: Hydraulic installation allows for exact placement and leveling.
- Minimal disruption: Installation typically requires less excavation, reducing the impact on landscaping.
What Are Concrete Piers?
Concrete piers offer a sturdy, affordable solution for foundations in need of support. These piers are poured in place or pre-cast and set into the ground under your foundation. While often used in areas with stable soil conditions, they can also be reinforced with steel for added strength and support.
Benefits of Concrete Piers
- Cost-effective: Concrete piers are often more affordable than other options.
- Customizable: Can be reinforced with steel for additional strength in certain soil conditions.
- Durability: Concrete piers resist weathering and erosion, ensuring longevity.
Steel vs. Concrete Piers: Which Is Right for Your Home?
Choosing between steel piers and concrete piers depends on your specific foundation issues and soil conditions. Contact the experts at Briggs Basement & Foundation Repair to further discuss which option is best for your foundation.
