A Closer Look into Underpinning Foundations
Steel Push Piers can be inserted into the ground beneath your preexisting wall. These piers take the pressure your foundation is putting on the loosely packed soil and transfer it to stronger, more stable soil further down. Multiple piers are installed to ensure stability.

Helical Piles are very similar to push piers and can be installed in any weather condition. In some cases, helical piles can be more reliable than push piers. They are screwed into the soil instead of being pushed in, which increases their durability and their ability to bear loads. Once they are installed, the piers will immediately begin to transfer weight away from your foundation and help to lift the foundation to its original position. Additionally, they can be installed in tight, hard-to-reach places, making them ideal for all repair jobs.
The need for underpinning can arise due to the following reasons:
- The existence of below ground debris pits
- The original foundation lost its strength and is no longer stable
- The application or load of the structure changed
- Modification of surrounding soils
- The properties of the soil supporting the foundation have either changed or were not properly assessed during the original construction
- Nearby construction created an unstable condition
