Memphis’ clay-heavy, moisture-sensitive soils can swell, shrink, or wash out over time, leaving parts of your foundation without solid support. As the soil shifts or compresses, sections of your home begin to sink, tilt, and pull apart. Cosmetic patches don’t stop the movement—and ignoring it can lead to more extensive structural damage.
Our foundation piering solutions use steel and helical piers to transfer your home’s weight down to stable bearing layers, then lift settled areas where possible. By addressing the problem at the soil level, piering helps re-support your foundation, reduce further movement, and protect your home for the long term.

Piering That Works With Your Overall Repair Plan

Foundation settlement rarely happens in isolation. If your sinking walls are tied to drainage, soil instability, or crawl space issues, we can coordinate piering with stabilization, water management, or crawl space repairs so your entire structure works together – not against itself.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Leveling

What is foundation piering, and how does it work?
Piering is a repair method that uses steel or helical piers installed beneath your foundation to reach stable, load-bearing soil. The weight of your home is transferred onto these piers, and in many cases we can carefully lift settled areas back toward their original position.
How do I know if my home actually needs piering?
Piering is typically recommended when parts of your foundation are sinking or settling unevenly. Common signs include stair-step cracks in brick, doors and windows that no longer close properly, sloping floors, and gaps opening around trim or countertops. During an inspection, we’ll confirm whether piering is necessary or if another solution makes more sense.
Will piering fix all the cracks in my home?
Piering addresses the cause of many cracks—movement and settlement, but it doesn’t “erase” every cosmetic issue by itself. Once the foundation is re-supported and lifted as much as safely possible, some cracks may close or improve. Others may still need separate cosmetic repair, which we’ll discuss with you as part of the plan.
Is piering a permanent solution, or will my home settle again?
Piering is designed as a long-term solution. By driving piers down to stable bearing layers beneath Memphis’ problematic surface soils, we create new, reliable support points for your foundation. While no contractor can promise that a home will never move again, properly installed pier systems greatly reduce the risk of future settlement in the treated areas.
How long does a typical piering project take?
Most residential piering projects take anywhere from a day or two to several working days, depending on how many piers are needed, access around the home, and weather conditions. We’ll provide a realistic timeline with your written estimate before any work begins.
Will piering tear up my yard or landscaping?
Piering does require excavation along sections of your foundation, so some disruption is unavoidable. That said, we plan access carefully, work in contained areas, and restore the soil as best we can after the piers are installed. Our crews treat your property with respect and clean up when the job is complete.
Can I stay in my home while piering is being done?
In most cases, yes. You can stay in your home while we install piers and perform any lifting. There will be some noise and vibration during certain stages, and we’ll go over what to expect so you can plan around the work.
How much does foundation piering cost, and do you offer financing?
Cost depends on factors like the number of piers, the type of pier used, access around your home, and how much lifting or stabilization is required. We provide straightforward, itemized estimates so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. Financing options are available, and in Memphis we also offer a lowest price guarantee on comparable written bids for the same scope of work.
