Structural · Piers · Lifts
When a foundation has settled, a main beam has failed, or floors are visibly sagging — the fix is structural lift and support. We install push piers, helical piers, lally columns, and rebuild main beams to bring the structure back to grade and keep it there.
What We Do
Steel piers driven down through soft soil to load-bearing strata, then used to lift the foundation back to grade. Right answer when the home has settled vertically — porch dropped, corner sagging, foundation cracked open at the top.
Schedule a structural look →Hydraulically rotated helix piers — installed without the impact of a driven pier, work better in tight access situations and for lighter structures (porches, additions, decks). Same lift-and-stabilize end result.
See if helical fits →Steel columns supporting the main beam from below. We replace failed wood posts and rusted columns, install new ones where the existing run is overspanned, and re-shim under the beam to take the sag out of the floors above.
Crawl space context →If the main beam itself is rotted or undersized — common in older homes with crawl-space moisture history — we rebuild it. New laminated beam, properly supported with new piers and columns, joists tied back in. Floors come back to level.
Schedule inspection →Clay-rich soils across Southern Indiana and the Louisville metro shrink in droughts and swell when wet — every season cycles the load on the foundation. Older homes with original wood support posts in damp crawl spaces are the most common candidates for pier + column work.
We find these jobs most often in 1950s–1980s housing stock, where the original construction was sound but moisture and decades of soil movement have caught up with it. Caught early, a few piers + a beam refresh restores the home. Caught late, the scope grows fast.
Free inspection — we look at the structural picture and tell you whether piers are the right fix or whether a less invasive approach will hold. No upsell.
