How Slab Pier Installation Works

Slab piers are support columns installed beneath the concrete slab of your home or building. These piers bypass unstable upper soils and transfer the weight of your structure to deeper, load-bearing soil or bedrock. Unlike perimeter piers, slab piers are placed beneath the interior of the slab—making them ideal for correcting settlement in the middle portions of your home.

Two main types of slab piers:

Pressed Steel Slab Piers: Driven hydraulically through access holes in the slab; suitable for deeper depths and heavier loads.
Concrete Slab Piers: Precast concrete cylinders stacked and driven into stable soil; cost-effective for shallower applications.

Slab piers are often used in conjunction with perimeter piers to provide complete foundation support when both exterior and interior areas are affected.

Benefits of Slab Piers

Slab piers offer the most targeted solution for correcting settlement in the center of your home. They address movement at its source and provide permanent support from beneath.

Key benefits include:

Stabilizes sinking interior slab areas
Corrects floor slope and unevenness
Can lift sunken areas back into place
Works with all slab foundation types
Ideal for homes with central cracks or depression
Minimizes moisture-related slab issues
Eligible for long-term structural warranties

While perimeter piers support the outside, slab piers protect the inside—where many of the most visible problems begin.

Our Slab Pier Installation Process

At Carthage Foundation Repair, we’ve installed hundreds of slab pier systems under homes throughout Panola County. Our proven process is engineered for precision and minimal disruption to your living space.

Step-by-step process:

1. Initial Inspection and Elevation Survey

We examine the foundation and measure floor elevations to locate areas of interior settlement and cracking.

2. Customized Pier Plan

We determine how many slab piers are needed, where they should be placed, and what depth is required to reach stable strata. You receive a detailed proposal with scope and pricing.

3. Interior Access Point Setup

Small holes are cut through the concrete slab in specific locations to allow pier installation. We work cleanly and use protective barriers during indoor work.

4. Pier Installation

Each pier is hydraulically driven into the soil until it reaches refusal (solid support). Steel or concrete segments are added until the desired depth is achieved.

5. Brackets and Slab Connection

Once in place, piers are capped and secured with brackets that lock them to the underside of the slab for load transfer.

6. Optional Lifting

If safe and appropriate, we lift the slab gently to restore original elevation. Elevations are checked at every stage.

7. Hole Patching and Surface Restoration

Interior holes are backfilled and patched with concrete. If needed, we help coordinate tile or flooring repair with trusted contractors.

FAQs About Slab Pier Installation

Find answers to our most commonly asked questions, from our services and pricing to the benefits of working with us. For more assistance, feel free to reach out to our team!

Q: How do slab piers differ from perimeter piers?

A: Slab piers are installed directly beneath the slab inside your home. Perimeter piers go around the outside footing. Many repairs use both for full coverage.

Q: Do I need to move out during the repair?

A: No. Most slab pier work is done room by room with minimal disruption. You can usually stay in your home during the project.

Q: Will this damage my flooring?

A: We do need to cut small holes in the slab, which may affect flooring. We work cleanly and can coordinate with flooring pros for patching or replacement.

Q: How deep do slab piers go?

A: Depth depends on your soil, but they often reach 10–25 feet until they hit stable, load-bearing strata.
