Foundation Settlement
Repair
Foundation settlement is a serious issue that can cause extensive damage to homes and commercial properties if left unaddressed. Without timely intervention—such as the installation of helical or push piers—structural problems can worsen, leading to costly repairs. Regular inspections for foundation warning signs are essential to maintaining a safe and stable property.
At Engineered Waterproofing, our experts specialize in identifying and resolving foundation settlement issues. We provide thorough inspections and guide property owners through the best repair solutions to restore stability and prevent future damage.

- Stair stepping cracks in the brick or mortar

Internal signs indicating foundation settlement issues include:

Foundation Repair Solutions
HELICAL PIERS
Engineered Waterproofing installs helical pier systems to repair foundation settlement issues. Helical piers can permanently stabilize a foundation and make the home level again. Helical piers differ from push piers, another foundation settlement repair solution, because we “screw” helical piers into the ground instead of pushing them in. Installing helical piers is quick and efficient because it requires minimal excavation and does not depend on the weather condition.
We offer helical piers in square and round shafts for our customers. Square shaft piers correct tension (uplift) situations, and round shaft piers repair compression (downward) situations.
Helical piers have the significant load-bearing capability and can repair compression (upward) and tension (downward) applications.
Push Piers
Push piers, often called resistance piers, are a
foundation settlement repair method for homes and other structures. Our Foundation Repair Specialists drive the push piers deep into the soil to lift and support weak foundations for commercial buildings, brick structures,
and residential homes. We exclusively use the Earth Contact Products (ECP) Steel Push Pier System.
We hydraulically drive the steel piers through the patented steel bracket to a load-bearing stratum, and the entire structure works as the reaction. The PPB-350 pier system can close cracks in masonry and restore settlement even on the heaviest structures. The ECP PPB-350 provides the
strongest support for your foundation.
