Can I Install Push Piers?

Push pier installation requires specialized skills and tools that most homeowners do not have. This is why it is best to seek professional help and advice when you have concerns about your foundation. If you do not apply the right solution or don’t address the whole problem, you could run into worse trouble down the road. 

• DIY Installation Could be a Disaster 

In fact, trying to install them alone is almost guaranteed to end in tears because of the precision with which these piers must be installed. If one is installed at a slightly improper angle, it could cause huge damage to your property’s foundation, resulting in the need for even more costly repairs in the future. For example, a poorly placed push pier could start to bend, making it ineffective in providing support, but also making it harder to remove and replace. 

Furthermore, foundation pier installation, or any kind of foundation repair, is specialist work that requires heavy excavation and specialist equipment. As well as being costly to undertake, this kind of work can be dangerous when you do not have the right training and tools. If you try to go it alone you could injure yourself and anyone helping you as well as exacerbating your property’s foundation problems. 

• Professional Help Has Many Benefits 

As such, it is very clear that foundation repairs should be undertaken by a specialist who has the tools and training to do the work effectively and, most importantly, safely. Of course, there are other benefits to professional work as well. First and foremost, it is far more convenient to have an expert undertake this difficult and intensive work for you. 

More than this, professional services come with a guarantee that you will get a certain standard of work and that your property will be finished to a certain level. If something does go wrong, or if excavation uncovers more issues, you can also rest easy knowing that your foundation repair specialists will be able to think on their feet and adapt with ease. This is, after all, what you are paying for!
