Push Pier Systems – Permanent Foundation Stabilization from the Ground Up
If your foundation is settling, cracking, or shifting, it may be due to unstable soil beneath your home. Left untreated, this can cause serious structural problems — including uneven floors, stuck doors, and even total foundation failure. Force Basements offers proven push pier solutions to permanently stabilize and restore sinking foundations.
We proudly install the SafeBase® Push Pier System, engineered for long-term strength, deep soil anchoring, and minimal disruption to your home or landscaping.
How Force Basements Uses Push Piers to Repair Your Foundation
Push piers are designed to transfer your home’s weight from weak, shifting soil to deep, stable strata underground — effectively lifting and securing your foundation.
1. Foundation Inspection
We assess your foundation for signs of differential settlement, including vertical cracking, sloped floors, and structural separation.
2. Soil Evaluation
We evaluate the soil conditions around your foundation to determine whether push piers are the right stabilization method.
3. SafeBase® Push Pier Installation
We install galvanized steel SafeBase® push piers directly beneath the affected footings:
-
Brackets are mounted to your foundation
-
Hydraulic equipment pushes the piers deep into load-bearing soil
-
Once piers reach stable strata, your foundation is transferred to the new support system
-
In many cases, the home can be lifted back to its original level
4. Final Grading & Cleanup
After installation, we backfill and restore your landscaping, sidewalk, or driveway with minimal disruption to the property.

FAQs About Push Pier Systems
How deep do push piers go?
Push piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach solid, load-bearing soil or bedrock — often 20–70 feet or more depending on the site.
Can push piers lift my home back into position?
Yes — in many cases, SafeBasements® push piers can gently lift settled sections of your foundation back toward their original level.
Are push piers better than helical piers?
It depends on your soil and structure. Push piers are ideal for heavier structures and deeper stabilization, while helical piers are often used for lighter loads or new construction.
