What foundation piers do
Foundation piers are structural support elements used in some underpinning and stabilization plans. Their purpose is to transfer or improve support for an affected portion of the foundation when existing support is not performing adequately.
Not every foundation problem needs piers
Cracks, sticking doors, or uneven floors do not automatically mean a pier system is necessary. Those symptoms can have more than one cause. Piers are considered when the evaluation shows that improving support beneath the foundation is an appropriate part of the repair plan.
What affects a pier plan
Foundation type, structural loads, depth and quality of supporting material, access, the area of movement, and the repair objective can all influence the system and layout. A specific design should follow the findings at the property.
