Push Pier Installation for Henderson homeowners
Push piers, also called resistance piers, are steel pipe sections driven into the ground beneath a footing with a hydraulic ram. The ram pushes against the weight of the house itself, so every pier is load-tested as it goes. Around Henderson, where soft sand and damp clay can extend a fair way down, driving pipe until it stops is a reliable way to find bearing.
They suit heavier structures, like brick ranch homes on continuous footings or slab homes on newer rural lots, where one section has settled. The signs are familiar: a crack stepping through the brick, a garage or porch that has dropped, windows that bind on one wall.
We excavate beside the footing, mount a bracket under it, and drive pipe sections one after another until the pier meets refusal. Once all piers are set, they are tied together and the house is carefully raised or stabilized. Each pier's drive pressure goes into your records. Henderson homeowners get photos, a written price, and a free inspection.
Every Henderson home gets the same push pier installation scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
