Piering is the process of driving sections of steel pipe pilings underneath a foundation in order to stabilize it and prevent further movement.  The piers are pushed into the ground with a hydraulic pump.  Concentrically loaded foundation piers are installed directly under the center of the wall being lifted and use the foundation as resistance to push the pier into the ground.  The piers must be driven deep enough to hit bedrock or other stable strata in order to be effective.  This serves as the strong base needed to support the piers which in turn support the foundation.  Piering is the strongest and most dependable method of stabilizing a foundation that is settling or sinking.

When foundation walls begin to buckle, bow or tilt inward, homeowners are correct to be alarmed. Outside pressure from soil and water can actually cause foundation walls to cave in!
