How Steel Pier Foundation Repair Works
Steel-pier repair sounds dramatic but the process is precise and orderly. Here’s exactly how we take a settling slab and lock it to stable ground.
Survey first
Every job starts with a free elevation survey — mapping the slab to ±1/8 inch so the pier plan is engineered to your home, not a template.
Drive to refusal
Galvanized steel sections are hydraulically driven beneath the perimeter beam until they reach refusal in load-bearing strata. Drive force is logged at each pier.
Lift, lock, verify
The slab is raised toward level, the load transfers onto the steel, and we re-survey before closing out under a lifetime warranty. See it localized for San Antonio.
- The process is survey → plan → drive → lift → verify.
- Piers are driven to refusal, not a fixed depth.
- The lift is re-measured and warrantied.
