Overview

Permanent Support for Homes Built on Concrete Slabs

If your home sits on a concrete slab and you are seeing cracks, uneven floors, or doors that no longer close properly, slab piers may be the solution. Slab piers are engineered steel supports that are installed deep below your home until they reach stable, load-bearing soil. By bypassing weak or shifting soils near the surface, slab piers stabilize your foundation and can even lift it back into position.

This system is designed specifically for homes and buildings built on slab foundations. It provides permanent structural support, improves safety, and restores your property value.

Warning Signs

Signs You May Need Slab Piers

Foundation settlement under a slab often shows up as:

  • Cracks in the slab or flooring – separation in the concrete surface or tile floors.
  • Drywall cracks – vertical or stair-step cracks around windows, doors, or walls.
  • Doors and windows sticking – frames become misaligned as the slab shifts.
  • Uneven floors – noticeable slopes or trip hazards across rooms.
  • Gaps around trim or cabinets – visible separation inside the home.

If you notice any of these issues, it is a good idea to schedule a professional evaluation.

Importance

Why It Is Important to Address Slab Foundation Problems

A settling concrete slab does not just create cosmetic issues. It can:

  • Compromise the structural stability of your entire home.
  • Make living spaces unsafe due to trip hazards and uneven flooring.
  • Lower your property value.
  • Lead to worsening cracks and damage if left untreated.

Slab piers stabilize your foundation by transferring the weight of the structure to deep, competent soil. In some cases, they can even lift the slab back toward its original level, closing cracks and improving safety.

How It Works

How the Slab Pier System Works

Slab piers are designed to correct settlement issues in concrete slab foundations. During installation:

  1. Small access points are created in the slab.
  2. Steel piers are driven deep below the unstable soil until they reach solid strata.
  3. Brackets connect the slab to the piers.
  4. Load is transferred, immediately stabilizing the foundation.
  5. In some cases, the slab is carefully lifted to close cracks and restore alignment.

The installation requires no heavy equipment and causes minimal disruption. Once complete, the piers are concealed beneath the slab, making the solution invisible and permanent.

Advantages of Slab Piers

  • Corrects hazardous cracking, settling, and shifting.
  • Easy installation without major excavation.
  • Anchors foundation into stable soil.
  • Not visible once installed.
  • Can restore property value.
  • Provides a permanent solution to slab settlement.
Cost

What Does a Slab Pier Installation Cost?

No two slab foundations are the same, so the cost of slab piers depends on several factors. These include:

  • The extent of settlement.
  • The number of piers required.
  • Soil conditions at your property.
  • Accessibility for installation.

A Certified Foundation Specialist must inspect your home to provide an accurate estimate. We offer free foundation evaluations and clear pricing so you know exactly what to expect.

Southern Dry was not the cheapest but no where near the most expensive.

My crawlspace was wet, moldy, and just nasty. The insulation was soaking wet and it smelled awful. I called five different companies to come out and give me quotes on what they thought needed to be done. I had quotes all over the board ranging from $7,000 all the way up to $48,000. Southern dry…
