Slab Piers

Ohio Basement Systems and The Basement Guys are now Ohio Basement Authority

Slab foundation settlement poses the same risk of damage as both basement and crawl space foundations. It’s important not to ignore noticeable cracks or uneven floors, as slab settlement indicates your home’s safety and structural integrity are compromised.

Ohio Basement Systems offers the perfect solution: SettleStop™ Slab Piers. As experts in foundation repair, we provide this permanent and warrantied method to stabilize your home.

This page provides valuable insights on why slab piers are a necessary and effective solution for your foundation problems.

What Are Slab Piers?

Slab piers are specialized components for repairing foundations. They are designed to permanently stabilize settling slab foundations, preventing future settling and ensuring your property resists shifting or expansive soil.

These piers act as stable columns that transfer the weight of your home down to more stable ground, providing stability and potentially lifting the house back to its original position.

In addition to slab piers, a comprehensive approach to maintaining your home’s structural health may include basement waterproofing. Therefore, slab piers are an essential component of such an approach that ensures the longevity of your home.

Signs You Need Slab Piers

If you notice any of the following symptoms in your home, it may indicate a need for concrete slab foundation stabilization:

Visible floor cracks
Cracks in drywall
Drywall nail pops
Uneven or sloping floors
Doors and windows that stick
Gaps between floors and walls

These indicators may seem only aesthetic at first glance. However, they are warning signs of a deteriorating foundation that should not be ignored.

As soon as you notice a problem, contact local foundation repair professionals like Ohio Basement Systems.

Are Slab Piers Necessary?

Ignoring signs of a settling foundation won’t make the problem go away. It will only make it worse. Repairs become more extensive and costly as the foundation continues to weaken.

Acting early with slab pier repair can prevent further damage and provide peace of mind. It’s a critical part of a whole-home solution that saves money and preserves your home’s value in the long run.

At Ohio Basement Systems, we understand that every home is unique and requires its own repair plan. That’s why we offer a variety of personalized repair solutions. Even if slab piers aren’t the ideal solution for your home, we’ll recommend exactly what your home needs to remain safe, stable, and protected for the years ahead.
