Your home should be a sanctuary of safety and stability. But if you’re dealing with foundation problems, your home’s structure and your loved ones’ well-being are at risk. 

Don’t postpone addressing foundation issues such as cracked drywall or jammed windows and doors. Ignoring them is likely to cause even bigger problems down the line. Georgia homeowners frequently encounter these challenges, but there is a solution at hand. 

AquaGuard’s push piers are a proven method for foundation repair. Utilizing expertly engineered products that stabilize your foundation, we’ve been Georgia’s leading foundation repair expert since 1995.  

This page explains how push piers work, their benefits, and why working with AquaGuard is a smart move. 

What Are Push Piers? 

Push Piers are strong steel columns that are mechanically driven into the earth beneath the foundation of your home. These steel supports are placed deep enough to bypass shifting soils, reaching down to bedrock and solid deep soils. This creates a robust support framework for your home’s foundation. 

Push Piers are part of AquaGuard’s integrated solution for your home’s structural needs, complementing other repair methods for foundations, basements, crawl spaces, and concrete to offer a long-lasting repair strategy. 

Signs You Need Push Piers 

Foundation problem signs are varied, and usually finding one means there are other issues just around the corner. If you observe any of the following symptoms, push piers are highly recommended: 

This list isn’t exhaustive, as there are other signs of foundation problems. Ignoring any of these warning signals will only result in more severe issues down the line and even costlier expenses to deal with them. For this reason, it’s essential to consult a local specialist, such as AquaGuard, to stop further damage. 

Are Push Piers Necessary?

Yes, push piers are necessary because they prevent further sinking of the foundation. But putting off foundation repair only escalates underlying problems. If damage is allowed to worsen, important home structures (such as walls or ceilings) will suffer from compromised structural integrity. 

Our push piers are a vital component of our comprehensive foundation repair approach. Our foundation piers are capable of stabilizing and (if the situation permits) actually lifting your foundation back to its original position. Timely action will save you both money and stress. 

Push piers aren’t the sole remedy for foundation problems. AquaGuard also offers other pier systems such as helical and slab piers, which might be more suited to your situation. Our free inspection will help identify the best course of action for you.
