The steel pier method is a widely acclaimed foundation repair technique, and one of our favorites at Pinnacle Foundation Repair – as it offers a robust and stable solution for buildings on all soil types. Picture this: 12 inch wide steel pipes, filled with cement, and driven down 75 feet into the ground to anchor your foundation above. How’s that for a permanent solution?
Preventative Measures That Can Help Protect Your Foundation
Texas soil is mainly clay, and it’s got a quirk – it loves soaking up water. So, when it rains hard, the soil swells up, and when it’s dry, it shrinks back down. This constant shifting of the soil can cause havoc on your home’s foundations and introduces instability and weakness in your foundation. That’s where the Steel Pier system comes in. Since we drive these sturdy steel piers all the way down to the bedrock, they hold in place. Why? Well, the bedrock deep underground is considered non-active, so it won’t sink or shift as the weather and seasons change.
Our steel pier system combines interlocking steel pipes with a friction reduction plate for deeper penetration. The result? This robust system outshines traditional concrete pier methods in most applications.
All of our steel piers are mill certified, load tested, and engineered to last a lifetime. We also use a double-walled system to prevent pier deformation, and we’re the only company that fills the pipe with cement to prevent corrosion and pier system failure. There’s a reason Pinnacle is built on radical reliability and results!
Why Choose Steel Piers?
Permanent Solution: Supported by bedrock rather than expansive soil, our steel piers provide a permanent solution to foundation problems. This ensures a secure foundation, counteracting the effects of shifting soils.
Efficient Process: Our steel-pier method involves driving the piers through soil until they reach bedrock, anchoring them securely, and using only mill-certified, load-tested materials. All work is insured and verified by independent engineers for your peace of mind.
Engineered to Last: Unlike traditional concrete cylinders, our steel pier method is designed to last a lifetime. Certified welders manufacture our materials, ensuring superior quality and dedication to excellence.
Pros and Cons of Steel Piers for Foundation Repair
Pros:
Deep Penetration: We can drive our steel piers up to 75 feet into the soil, which is a whopping five times deeper than traditional concrete cylinders.
Load-Bearing Capacity: Our steel pier system can bear an extremely high load, meaning they can carry a lot of weight (your house) on their shoulders. And if that’s not enough, once the piers are installed we set with concrete to further fortify them and lock them into place.
Maximum Durability: Our steel piers are resistant to corrosion and erosion, guaranteeing their strength and stability for decades to come.
Cons:
Cost: Even though steel piers are our most permanent foundation repair method and are highly effective, the downside is that steel pier systems can be more expensive than other repair options due to specialized equipment and labor costs.
Installation Time: Since we drive these piers deep into the bedrock, the installation process can take longer than other methods, and there is a potential for minor friction causing brickwork cracks.
Choosing Your Foundation Repair Solution
When choosing the best foundation repair solution for your home, if you are faced with choosing between a steel pier system or a concrete pier system, it is important to know what your budget is and what your long-term plan for the home is.
If you want to avoid disturbance and cause minimal stress to the home, it’s possible that standard concrete piers are the method for you. However, if you plan to live in your home long-term and want to invest in its stability for decades to come, investing a little extra for the quality steel pier systems is a good idea.
