Slab Piers

When your slab foundation starts to sink, your home’s structural safety is in jeopardy. Signs like visible cracks and uneven flooring are clear indications that your home’s structural stability is at risk.

AFS has an ideal resolution: our slab piers. As specialists in foundation repair, we can install this guaranteed, long-lasting solution for keeping your home safe. This page explains why slab piers are an effective fix for your foundation troubles.

What Are Slab Piers?

Slab piers are custom-made tools specifically for stabilizing sinking slab foundations. Unlike other general repair options, slab piers are tailored for slabs.

These supports go deep, bypassing expansive soil layers until they connect with solid bedrock or more reliable load-bearing strata, delivering a steadfast foundation support system. 

Moreover, slab piers can be integrated into a wider strategy to maintain your home’s structural stability, including waterproofing your basement or lifting other concrete on your property. In summary, they are a vital part of a holistic strategy aimed at prolonging your home’s lifespan.

Are Slab Piers Necessary?

Absolutely, yes. Overlooking settling foundation problems will not make them go away; it will worsen them. As the foundation deteriorates, repair work becomes more complicated and expensive.

Early intervention with slab pier solutions can stop further damage and offer peace of mind. Think of this as an essential part of an all-encompassing solution that saves both your money and home value over time.

AFS recognizes that each house is unique, requiring a customized repair plan. Even if slab piers aren’t your home’s best fix, we’ll prescribe exactly what you need to keep your home secure, stable, and safeguarded for years to come.

Halting and Preventing More Sinking: The piers relocate your home’s weight to stable soil or rock layers, stopping further settling.
