Foundation Repair

Without a solid foundation, even the most well-constructed home can find itself sinking into the earth, destroyed by gravity. Most of the time, the foundations that support our homes are built to last. However, even when built from solid concrete, they aren’t immune to the deterioration of time and the harsh forces of the elements.

Fortunately, when you find yourself dealing with foundation issues, whether it’s random cracks in your walls or you find yourself suddenly walking uphill to the bathroom, the team at Hercules Foundation Repair is here and ready to put in the HERCULEAN effort to implement whatever type of foundation repair you could need.

Concrete Pressed Pile Piers

Concrete pressed pile piers are a budget-friendly foundation repair solution designed to get the job done without breaking the bank. These piers are hydraulically pressed deep into the ground — often all the way to bedrock — at strategic points along your home’s perimeter or beneath interior beams. With a compressive strength of 10,000 psi, they serve as a strong platform to support and lift your home back to its proper elevation.

This method is ideal for homeowners needing an efficient, cost-effective solution — especially in cases where a quick fix is needed, such as flipped or rushed-to-sell homes. While reliable, concrete pressed pile piers may require more maintenance over the years due to the possibility of shifting. That’s why we back them with a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind. If any adjustments are needed within that time, we’ll return to make it right — no extra cost to you!

Steel Pier Systems

Steel pier systems are a long-term, “one and done” foundation repair solution built to last a lifetime. Each pier features a 4-inch sleeved, locked steel pipe with a heavy-duty steel top cap, engineered for maximum durability and strength. These piers are hydraulically driven deep into the ground — either to bedrock or 10,000 psi, whichever comes first — to provide a rock-solid foundation support.

While steel piers don’t necessarily hold more weight or get installed in different soil types compared to concrete piers, their biggest advantage is long-term reliability. This is the go-to system for homeowners planning to stay in their home and never want to worry about foundation issues again. Backed by a lifetime warranty, steel piers are quickly becoming one of the most popular choices for permanent peace of mind.

Pier & Beam Foundation Solutions

Pier and beam foundations are common in older homes and certain soil conditions, offering a crawl space beneath the structure and easier access to plumbing and electrical systems. These foundations rely on a system of piers — typically concrete or block — driven deep into the ground, with horizontal beams spanning across to support the floor structure above.

Over time, issues like wood rot, shifting soil or moisture intrusion can compromise the integrity of a pier and beam system. When that happens, Hercules Foundation Repair is here to help. Our experienced team specializes in diagnosing and restoring pier and beam foundations with precision and care — bringing long-term stability back to your home.

We offer a wide variety of pier and beam foundation repairs, but some tactics include the following.

Concrete Sonotube Piers Or Footings

This type of pier solution involves using a series of cylindrical cardboard tubes filled with concrete and rebar with a footing inserted into the ground. Once the concrete has cured, it can adequately reinforce existing pier foundations.

Block & Pad Pier And Footings

Block & pad pier solutions are another type of pier foundation system that can be installed alongside existing pier foundation systems to support any faults or weak spots. It consists of a precast concrete block with pads set into the ground.

Beam Replacement, Floor Joist Or Flooring Replacement

While the wood used in pier and beam foundations is typically incredibly robust and intended to last decades, it’s still wood and susceptible to damage and rot. Sometimes the solution to foundation issues is as simple as replacing segments of the existing wood with newer, stronger materials.
