In a home or commercial property, foundation settlement can cause extensive damage and is a significant issue requiring immediate professional attention. Failure to repair foundation settlement with solutions, such as helical piers or push piers, can create bigger structural problems. Below are the signs of foundation problems homeowners and property owners should regularly inspect to ensure their space is safe.
At Engineered Waterproofing, we inspect and resolve foundation settlement issues. Our Foundation Repair Specialists instruct our customers on the best course of action to correct the issue and prevent future damage throughout the process.

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.
