A solid foundation is crucial for your home—not just for structural integrity, but for your family’s safety and peace of mind. Foundation settlement can jeopardize what matters most.

Overlooking warning signs like cracking drywall or sticking windows and doors may lead to significant structural damage. While many homeowners face these issues, Matvey Foundation Repair offers effective solutions.

Our push pier system is a comprehensive remedy, engineered to permanently stabilize and potentially lift your settling foundation back to its original position. As the trusted foundation repair leader in Seattle and Western Washington, we provide thorough solutions to protect your home. This page delves into push piers, their importance, and the key benefits of our specialized products and services.

What Are Push Piers?

Push piers are robust steel supports mechanically driven into the soil beneath your home’s foundation. Installed deep underground, they bypass unstable expansive soils until reaching load-bearing bedrock or strata, forming a strong support system.

Also known as resistance piers, they’re driven downward until meeting maximum soil resistance.

Push piers are a vital component of our whole-home solution, working in conjunction with our basement, crawl space, and concrete repair methods to provide a lasting, comprehensive fix that preserves your home’s structural integrity for years to come.

Signs Your Home Needs Push Piers

Homes typically require push piers when showing clear signs of foundation settlement, including:

Ignoring these warning signs allows problems to worsen, leading to more widespread and costly damage in the future. Promptly contacting Matvey Foundation Repair addresses these issues early.

Are Push Piers Necessary?

Absolutely. Delaying foundation repairs only worsens settlement issues, resulting in more extensive and expensive damage over time.

Push piers stabilize foundations while offering the potential to lift them back towards their original positions. Taking swift action saves you significant stress and money in the long run.

However, push piers aren’t a universal solution. Matvey Foundation Repair also offers other foundation pier systems—helical piers and slab piers—that may be more suitable for your home’s specific needs. A free inspection from one of our experts determines the ideal approach for your situation.
