Crawl Space Repair

Mold Treatment
Mold and mildew thrive in the damp, humid conditions found in crawl spaces. The best way to prevent microbial growth is to encapsulate the crawl space with a vapor barrier and install a dehumidifier.
Sinkhole Repair
The goal of sinkhole repair is to stabilize the area and prevent the sinkhole from reappearing. That means finding and eliminating the cause of the sinkhole. If water caused the sinkhole – and it usually does – then we need to get the water under control.

A Reliable Solution to Help Stabilize Your Home
Your home's foundation is what keeps everything standing strong – it's the bedrock of your house. When it's not stable, neither is your home. That's a problem you don't want to ignore.
In Knoxville, where the ground can shift due to heavy rainfalls and clay-rich soil, foundation problems are a pretty common headache for homeowners. You might notice doors or windows sticking, cracks in the walls, or uneven floors. These signs often mean that your home's foundation is shifting, and things could worsen if left unchecked.
Steel push piers are an effective way to fix these foundation problems. They work by transferring the weight of your house to deeper, more stable layers of soil or even bedrock. Think of them as solid pillars that help lift and support your home to prevent it from sinking or settling further. They're driven deep into the ground, providing solid, long-lasting support for your home.
At USS Knoxville, we've been working with homeowners for over three decades and know how well steel push piers can help stabilize homes. We've helped many people get their foundations back on track, from downtown homes to properties near the Tennessee River.
If you think your home might be dealing with foundation issues, contact us at (423) 320-8883 to see whether steel push piers are a suitable solution.
At no additional charge, we offer transferable lifetime warranties on our foundation repair and waterproofing services.
What Are Steel Push Piers?
If your house is starting to tilt or you've noticed cracks in the walls or floors, steel push piers could solve the problems. Steel push piers are rods driven deep into the ground to support and stabilize your home's foundation. Once they're in place, they help lift the foundation to an optimal position, helping to keep your house level. These piers are made from high-quality steel or steel alloys, making them incredibly strong and durable. A hydraulic machine pushes the piers into the ground until they hit stable soil or bedrock, where they get their strength. It's all done with minimal disruption to your home—no need to tear up your floors or yard.
Why Steel Push Piers Are a Great Solution
Steel push piers are an ideal solution for stabilizing your home's foundation.
They're a reliable choice for the following reasons:
- Heavy-duty load capacity: Steel push piers can support the entire weight of your home, providing the strength needed to help keep your foundation steady.
- Versatile installation: While steel push piers are more commonly placed around the exterior, they can be used in interior spaces if necessary.
- Non-invasive process: Unlike other foundation repairs, installing steel push piers doesn't require tearing up your floors or digging up your yard. It's a clean, quick solution with minimal disruption.
- Preserve home value: By fixing your foundation with steel push piers, you're preventing further damage that could reduce your home's value.
Our Push Pier Installation Process
The push pier installation process is straightforward and doesn't cause much hassle.
The following is a step-by-step look at how it works:
- Excavating around the foundation: First, we dig up a small area around your home's foundation so the team can access the spots where we'll install the piers. This step doesn't mean tearing up your entire yard – just enough to do the job.
- Mounting brackets: After we dig the area, we attach brackets to your foundation. These brackets will connect the steel push piers to your home's foundation, allowing them to lift and support it.
- Driving the piers deep: We push the piers deep into the ground using a hydraulic machine. The goal is to drive them down until they hit more stable, load-bearing soil or bedrock.
- Securing the structure: After the foundation is lifted, the piers continue to hold the weight of your home, helping stabilize your home.
Why is this process effective?
The steel piers are driven deep into stable soil, supporting your home. Because they transfer the weight of the house onto these stronger layers, the risk of future shifting or settling is reduced.
