Your Sagging Floors Are Telling You Something

If your floors slope, dip, or feel bouncy, that’s not just wear and tear. That’s your home crying out for help.

Foundation settlement is a silent, creeping threat. Over time, the soil beneath your home shifts—whether from moisture changes, poor compaction, or Michigan’s relentless freeze-thaw cycles. As that soil weakens, your home loses support. Floors sag. Walls crack. Doors stick. And your home’s value—and safety—start to slide.

That’s where piering comes in. It’s not just a fix—it’s a structural reset.

What Is Piering, and How Does It Work?

Piering is a proven foundation repair method that stabilizes and lifts sunken sections of your home by anchoring them to stronger, load-bearing soil deep below the surface.

We use two industry-leading systems based on your home’s needs:

  • Push Piers are hydraulically driven through unstable soil layers until they reach bedrock or solid strata. Ideal for heavier homes and deep foundation settlement.

  • Helical Piers are twisted into the ground like giant screws using precision torque, perfect for lighter structures or where soil requires finesse.

Once installed, these steel piers permanently support your foundation—and can even lift it back to its original position.

You don’t need to know every technical detail. That’s our job. What you need to know is this: it works.

Why Piering Matters—Now, Not Later

“Foundation problems never go away on their own. They get worse—and more expensive.”
A sinking foundation doesn’t just risk your home’s value. It can jeopardize your family’s safety. Waiting means risking more damage—and rising repair costs. Piering is the kind of decision you’ll look back on with relief, not regret.
