All Pro Foundation Repair is a trusted residential foundation repair company serving DFW. Our home foundation support services include installing, fixing, and maintaining steel pier systems for properties of all sizes. This option is popular because it provides robust and long-lasting stability that homeowners can count on. Whether you want to reverse the effects of poor soil or bad construction, our team will provide a solution to help you.
Steel piers are a popular choice for foundation repair and support for the following reasons:
The Advantage: Steel piers are a medium-priced option. The one-foot steel sections and protective concrete are relatively affordable to install and secure.
The Disadvantage: They are best for homes where the load-bearing strata are 30 feet or less. Deeper strata may cause insufficient depth, leading to continued settlement.
Warning: Avoid cheap, 3 to 5 ft. single-wall steel piers. These use less steel, are installed beside the foundation, and are prone to rust and bending due to torque, making them an inferior option.
The Types of Steel Pier Systems
Many Solutions to Choose From
Does your foundation need stabilization? You can trust our steel pier installations to get the job done right. Here is a brief explanation of the types of steel piers we install and the process of securing them to your foundation and property:
Straight Steel Piers
Straight steel piers are driven vertically into the ground and secured to either stable deep soil, bedrock, or weathered shale. They can reach great depths, providing firm support for your home or business.
All Pro Helical Steel Piers
Also known as screw piles, helical steel piers are screwed into the ground by powerful hydraulic machinery and equipment. This pier has an almost infinite drilling depth and weight bearing capacity. It is easily adjustable and there is no concrete cure time. The All Pro Helical causes the least amount of stress on the home to install.
Hybrid Piers
This style combines steel and concrete. First, the steel shaft is driven deep into the ground by hydraulic machinery and secured to stable soil. Then, concrete is applied at the top of the pier to distribute the load across the foundation evenly.
