Why Do Springfield Foundations Settle?

Missouri's clay-heavy soils shrink dramatically during droughts and expand again when wet. This cycle of shrinking and swelling causes the soil beneath your foundation to lose its load-bearing capacity over time. Foundations built on improperly compacted fill soil are especially vulnerable. Tree roots and underground drainage issues also contribute.

Warning Signs of Foundation Settlement

Watch for doors and windows that suddenly stick or won't latch properly, floors that feel springy or slope noticeably, diagonal cracks at the corners of door and window frames, gaps between walls and ceilings or floors, and visible cracks in your exterior brick or siding. These symptoms indicate differential settlement that will worsen without intervention.

How Pier Systems Stop Settlement

Helical piers are screwed into stable soil or bedrock below the problematic soil layer. Push piers are hydraulically driven to the same depth. Both systems transfer the load of your home from the weak soil to stable bearing strata — and in many cases the foundation can be partially or fully lifted back to its original position.

  • Helical pier installation for various soil conditions
  • Push pier systems for deeper stabilization
  • Void filling and slab leveling where needed
  • Interior and exterior installation options
  • Minimal excavation — small access holes only
  • Permanent solution with lifetime transferable warranty
