Foundation Underpinning Detroit MI — Steel & Helical Piers

When a foundation settles, standard repairs are not enough — you need to reach stable soil below the problem zone. 313 Foundation Fix installs steel push piers and helical piers that transfer your home’s load to bedrock or load-bearing strata, permanently stopping settlement and in many cases lifting the foundation back toward its original position.

Pier Systems We Install

• Steel Push Piers — Hydraulically driven steel pipe sections are pushed through the foundation footing into load-bearing strata. Ideal for active settlement on heavy structures.
• Helical Piers — Screw-type piers are rotated into the soil to a specified torque. Ideal for lighter structures, additions, porches, and new construction.
• Slab Piers — Installed through interior concrete slabs to lift and stabilize settled floors in garages, basements, and crawl spaces.

Signs You Need Underpinning

• Foundation has dropped more than 1 inch in any area
• Large diagonal cracks at corners of doors and windows
• Chimneys pulling away from the house
• Floors with a noticeable slope (more than 1 inch per 10 feet)
• Previous crack repairs that keep returning

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does pier installation cost in Detroit?

Pier installation typically runs $1,200–$2,000 per pier. Most projects require 6–14 piers. We provide a written scope and fixed price before work begins.

Can you lift my house back to level?

In many cases yes. Once piers reach load-bearing strata, hydraulic jacks lift the foundation incrementally. We stop when the structure is stable to avoid overstress on the framing above.
