Push Pier Installation for Elko homeowners
Push piers are the right tool for heavy structures, and most of the housing around Elko is not heavy. Light frame homes on block and brick piers do not supply the reaction weight a driven pier needs, and forcing the method on that kind of house produces piers that stall short of bearing.
So the honest starting point here is an assessment. Where there is masonry, brick veneer or a substantial addition, push piers can be the right answer and they drive well through the sandy soil to material that resists.
Where the structure is too light, we say so and recommend helical piers instead. It is a different install and a different price, and it is the one that actually works on that house. Either way the elevation readings and the written price come first.
Here is what our push pier installation work includes on an Elko home, in town or out toward the Houston County line.
