Steel Push Pier Installation in Artesia, NM
What Your Neighbors Are Saying About Us
What Is a Steel Push Pier System?
Steel Push Piers (also called resistance piers or end-bearing piers) are made of high-strength galvanized steel tubes that are hydraulically driven into the ground, directly beneath your foundation’s footings. They work by using the weight of your structure to push the piers deep into the earth until they reach stable soil or bedrock.
Once in place, these piers act like stilts that permanently support and stabilize your foundation. In many cases, they also allow us to lift settled areas back to their original elevation.
Each pier is anchored securely to your structure using a heavy-duty bracket system, ensuring the entire load is transferred through the pier to competent soil—eliminating ongoing movement caused by expansive or shifting surface soils.

When to Use Steel Push Piers
In Artesia, with its clay-heavy soils and unpredictable moisture levels, steel push piers are ideal for situations where foundations are sinking unevenly or experiencing deep settlement.
Common Signs You Need Push Piers:
- Cracks in walls, ceilings, or bricks
- Uneven or sloping floors
- Doors and windows that stick or don’t align
- Chimneys or porches pulling away from the house
- Gaps between walls and ceiling/floor
- Noticeable dips or low spots in the slab
- Past foundation repairs that failed or weren’t deep enough
These issues indicate that the soil supporting your foundation is no longer doing its job—and it’s time for deep stabilization.
How Steel Push Pier Installation Works
We’ve designed our Steel Push Pier Installation process to be precise, minimally invasive, and highly effective. Most homes can be stabilized in just a few days with no need to move out or disrupt your daily life.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Inspection & Evaluation
We inspect your foundation and determine where settlement is occurring and how many piers are required. - Preparation & Access Points
Small holes (2’x2’) are excavated along the foundation to expose the footing at each pier location. - Bracket Attachment
A heavy-duty steel foundation bracket is installed beneath the footing to serve as the pier’s attachment point. - Driving the Steel Piers
Using hydraulic equipment, we drive sections of steel tubing into the soil, one after another, until we reach load-bearing strata (often 20–70 feet deep). - Load Transfer & Lift (Optional)
Once all piers are installed, we use synchronized hydraulic jacks to gently lift the structure, if needed, restoring it to a more level position. - Lock Off & Secure
After lifting, the piers are locked in place and the weight of the home is fully supported by the piers—not the unstable surface soil. - Backfill & Clean-Up
We refill all holes, compact the soil, and clean the work area to leave your property as we found it.
Final Review & Warranty
We provide you with a final inspection report and a lifetime transferable warranty for complete peace of mind.
