OUR SERVICES
Sinking Foundation Services We Offer in Pittsburgh
Foundation Repair
Sinking Foundation Repair / Push Piers
Restore your home’s stability with push pier foundation repair.
We drive heavy-duty steel piers down to solid ground, then lift and support the foundation from below. Push piers are Ideal for poured concrete and block foundations. They stop settling, protect walls and floors, and give homeowners peace of mind during shifting local soil conditions.
Bowed Wall Repair
Got a bowed basement wall? Our Grip-Tite wall anchors, carbon fiber straps, or steel I-beams resist outside soil pressure and stabilize your basement walls.
When foundation movement and soil pressure start to strain basement walls, we prevent further cracking, improve wall strength, and protect your basement from bigger structural problems in the future.
Interior French Drains
Protect your basement from moisture damage, musty air, and costly repairs by installing french drains. Our interior French drain system catches seepage where the wall meets the floor and directs it to the sump pump.
By relieving hydrostatic pressure around the foundation, it helps prevent water buildup, reduce wall stress, and limit moisture-related soil movement that can make settlement worse.
Sump Pumps and Battery Backups
Every drainage system includes a sump pump. Our sump pumps come with the Blue Angel Battery Backup system that keeps your basement protected even during a mid-storm power outage.
Your drainage system keeps working when heavy rain hits, helping reduce water pressure around the foundation.
Yard Drainage
Protect your home from the outside in with our custom yard drainage solutions. We direct surface water and groundwater away from your foundation. Our exterior French drains reduce pooling, slow soil erosion, and limit the pressure that can lead to settling, cracks, and long-term damage around your home.
By controlling water before it reaches the foundation, yard drainage helps address one of the root causes of foundation settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
How do I know if my foundation is sinking or just settling normally?
All homes settle over time. The concern is movement that continues, becomes uneven, or causes growing cracks. A free inspection tells you which one you are dealing with.
Can push piers fix a sinking foundation without replacing it?
In most cases, yes. Push piers stabilize and sometimes lift a settling foundation without full replacement or major excavation.
How long does foundation repair take?
Most installations finish in one to three days, depending on the scope of work and the number of piers required.
Does homeowner's insurance cover foundation repair?
Typically, no. Insurance does not cover settlement damage. We will walk you through your options when we come out.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Grip-Tite piering systems come with a lifetime transferable warranty.
