Advantages
  • Versatile - can be made to support any load
  • Installation is very fast 
  • Safely & permanently transfers the weight of a structure onto solid bedrock or load-bearing strata
  • Safe to install in environmentally sensitive areas

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I know if my property has sinkhole conditions?

Developers are required (by law) to test soil conditions on a site prior to building homes or commercial property. They are not, however, required to do sinkhole testing.

Is it worth it to do pre-construction piers before we build a house?

It is easier and more cost-effective to underpin a foundation or stabilize weak soils before a home is built. Upfront shoring of the foundation of a home can potentially offset the cost of sinkhole loss coverage over the life of the mortgage.
