Push Piers in Columbia

Professional push piers for Columbia homes & businesses

When a foundation keeps settling, lifting the slab alone may not last. Push piers transfer the weight of the house down past the weak soil to a deeper layer that can carry the load.

We dig small access holes along the footing, set steel brackets, and push the pier sections down in steps, using the house weight as resistance. Each pier is recorded, and the foundation is raised back toward its original position where it is safe to do so.

Foundation Repair In Columbia provides push piers throughout Columbia, MO and nearby Boone County, with the price quoted before any work starts. As your foundation repair company in Columbia, we measure first and fix the cause, not just the symptom. Questions first? Read our FAQs.

Local expertise

Push Piers for mid-Missouri homes

Clay soils around Columbia can stay soft for a long time before they settle, so a foundation may move slowly over years. Push piers are often recommended where the soil under the footing is the cause.

Push Piers reviews in Columbia, MO

Fixed our crack. Good job.

James WhitfieldFoundation Crack Repair

they did the piers on the corner of our house. crew was fine. dogs liked them. no issues

Kevin PruittPush Piers

Decent work, fair price. Communication could be better — I had to call twice to find out when they were coming. But once the crew showed up they were efficient and the crawlspace looks great now. Would use again.

Travis BooneCrawl Space Repair

We used them for a foundation inspection before buying our first house. I had no idea what I was looking at, and the inspector walked me through everything — the cracks, the floors, what was normal and what wasn't. The written report was thorough. Our realtor said she'd never seen one that detailed. Ended up not needing repairs, but I'd call them again in a heartbeat.

basement wall was bowing. they put straps on it and told me to watch it. didn't try to sell me anchors which another guy did. respect that

David MerrickBasement Wall Repair

Honestly the best part was the report. I'm an engineer so I'm picky about this stuff. They actually measured crack widths, checked floor elevations with a level, documented everything with photos. Not just 'yep you got cracks, give us money.' I kept the report for our records.

Chris AbernathyFoundation Inspection

OK so here's the thing. I called three places. Two of them wanted to sell me a full pier system before they'd even walked my basement. These guys actually got down there, poked around, measured stuff, and told me my problem was water, not structure. Fixed the grading and the downspouts. Six months later, no new cracks. I was ready to spend $15k and spent a fraction of that. Only docked a star because it took forever to get someone out here for the initial visit.

Danielle ReyesWaterproofing & Drainage

I'm 74 and I don't normally do online reviews but my daughter said I should. The young man who came out was very respectful and explained things twice because I didn't catch it the first time. They sealed the cracks in my basement wall. I haven't had any water since. I would recommend them to anyone.

french drain and sump. basement dry for the first time since we moved in 2019. should've done this years ago tbh

Amanda CutlerWaterproofing & Drainage

Work was fine. Getting them scheduled was a nightmare — I called in April and didn't get an appointment until late May. Then they pushed it once. The piers themselves seem solid, no complaints there, but be prepared to wait.

Greg HalvorsenPush Piers

My garage slab had settled and I was worried it was gonna be a huge deal. They leveled it in one day. The guy even showed me the measurements before and after so I could see the difference. Price was what they quoted. No games.

Rick DelgadoFoundation Leveling

Good people. Did what they said they'd do. My only gripe is they left some dirt in the yard from the pier install that I had to clean up myself. Small thing. Foundation is solid now, doors close right, no more sticking. Would recommend.

Why not just fill the cracks?

Filling a crack fixes the crack, not the movement. If the footing keeps settling, the crack will keep opening, so we confirm the cause first.

Will the house be lifted?

Only as far as is safe. In many cases the goal is to stop further settling, with any lift done slowly and monitored.

How long does pier installation take?

Most homes take a few days, depending on the number of piers and access to the footing.

Can piers be installed inside a crawl space?

Yes. Many piers are installed from inside a crawl space or basement, with access holes sized for the job.

How much do push piers cost in Columbia?

The cost depends on the number of piers, the depth they need to reach and access to the footing. We provide a written quote after we inspect.

How deep do push piers go?

Depth depends on the soil. Piers are driven until they reach load-bearing soil, and each depth is recorded.

Do push piers stop a house from settling?

They are designed to carry the load of the foundation down to stable soil. Our inspection confirms whether piers are the right fix for your home.

Will piers damage my yard?

Access holes are small and sized for the job. We restore the surface after installation.
