Slab Piers

Settlement of slab foundations can be just as damaging as basement and crawl space foundations. Addressing visible cracks or uneven floors is important, as they can indicate that your home’s safety and structural integrity are compromised.

BQ Basements & Concrete has the perfect solution for this problem: SettleStop™ Slab Piers. As foundation repair experts, we offer a permanent and warrantied method to stabilize your home.

This page provides valuable insights on why slab piers are a necessary and effective solution for your foundation problems with BQ Basements & Concrete.

What Are Slab Piers?

Slab piers are specialized components used for repairing foundations. They are designed to permanently stabilize settling foundations, which prevents future settling and ensures that your property is resistant to shifting or expansive soil conditions.

These piers act as stable columns that transfer the weight of your home down to more stable ground, providing stability and potentially lifting the house back to its original position.

In addition to slab piers, a comprehensive approach to maintaining your home’s structural health may include basement waterproofing, crawl space repair, and other solutions. Therefore, slab piers are an essential component of such an approach that ensures the longevity of your home’s foundation.

Signs You Need Slab Piers

If you see any of the following signs in your home, your concrete slab foundation may need stabilization:

While these indicators may seem only aesthetic at first glance, they are actually warning signs of a deteriorating foundation that should not be ignored.

If you notice any of these problems, it’s important to contact local foundation repair professionals like BQ right away.

Are Slab Piers Necessary?

Ignoring signs of a settling foundation will not make the problem go away. Instead, it will only worsen the issue, causing repairs to become more extensive and costly as the foundation weakens.

Acting early with slab pier repair can prevent further damage and provide peace of mind. It is a critical component of a whole-home solution that saves money and preserves your home’s value in the long run.

BQ Basements & Concrete understands that every home is unique and requires its own repair plan. That is why we offer various foundation, basement, crawl space, and concrete repair solutions. Even if slab piers are not the best fix for your home, we will recommend the exact remedy your home needs to remain safe, stable, and protected for years to come.
