Scope of work

What push piers typically includes.

Push piers (resistance piers) are steel pipe sections hydraulically driven into the ground using the weight of the home as reaction force. They're driven to refusal — typically bedrock or dense load-bearing soil — and then transfer the home's load through a bracket beneath the footing.

The matched specialist will give you a written scope and estimate after the free inspection.

Backfill, grade restoration, and lifetime warranty

FAQ

Push Piers — common questions.

Why are push piers preferred for heavy homes?

The home's mass is the reaction force used to drive the pier — heavier homes drive piers deeper, faster, and reach load-bearing strata reliably.

Can push piers fail to reach bedrock?

On rare lots with very deep soft soils, yes — which is exactly when helical piers are the better choice. A good contractor evaluates soils first.

How long does push pier installation take?

Typical home: 1–3 days on-site for 6–12 piers, plus 1–2 weeks of permitting beforehand.
