Slab Piers

Just like damaged pier & beam or crawl space foundations, slab foundation settlement carries inherent risks of damaging your home’s structure. It’s imperative not to overlook signs such as visible cracks or uneven floors as they are indicators of compromised safety and structural integrity. 

Foundation Support Specialists presents the ultimate remedy: Slab Piers—a guaranteed permanent solution to stabilize your home’s foundation. 

This article aims to help homeowners understand the critical role slab piers play in remedying foundation issues. 

What Are Slab Piers? 

Slab piers are distinct foundation repair tools devised to permanently stabilize settling slab foundations. They are precisely designed to suit the unique needs of slab foundations, setting them apart from other generic options available in the market. 

By lending support to your foundation, slab piers function as reliable pillars that redirect the weight of your home to more solid ground, guarding against future settlement and resisting the changes in soil conditions. They offer not just stability but also an opportunity to restore the house to its original position. 

Furthermore, incorporating slab piers is a pivotal step in a comprehensive strategy aimed at sustaining your home’s structural health, accompanying other services like crawl space repair, and thereby ensuring your home stands strong for years to come.

Stability and Safety 

Our primary concern is to provide a solution that prioritizes your safety. By directing the weight of your structure to solid soil or bedrock, we halt and prevent further settlement, ensuring your building stands firm against the test of time. 

Revitalization of Settled Areas 

There is a potential to not only stop the decline but to reverse it, lifting settled regions back to their original position. Strategic installation of slab piers can rejuvenate your space, erasing signs of wear and bringing a fresher, newer feel to your home or building. 

Permanent Solution 

When we say our solution is permanent, we mean it. Slab piers bring long-lasting stability, securing a foundation that future generations can safely rely on. It’s an investment not just for your present, but for a long and secure future. 

Enhanced Property Value 

A home that stands on a robust foundation isn’t just safer; it’s also more valuable. Investing in slab piers can significantly boost your property value, giving you a competitive edge in the real estate market, whether you plan to sell now or in the future. 

Energy Efficiency 

Slab piers help in creating a more sealed environment, preventing drafts and reducing your heating and cooling costs. This means a home that’s not just sturdier, but also more energy-efficient, helping you save on utilities while reducing your carbon footprint.

With a more solid foundation, you reduce the risks of pests finding their way into your home through cracks and gaps. Protect your home from unwanted visitors and maintain a healthier living space.
