What is a steel push pier?

One of the most used foundation repair products, steel push piers are relatively slim lengths of steel or steel alloy that can reach the solid bedrock beneath your home in order to find load-bearing strata to properly support your foundation. The size of the pier and the use of friction reduction materials reduces the skin friction – or soil drag – on the pier as it is driven into the soil. Steel piers are able to be load-tested to ensure they have hit the bedrock.
