Steel Pier Installation – X-Treme Steel Foundation Repair
Most of the time, when we see foundation issues here in San Antonio and surrounding areas, it all traces back to **excessive moisture in the soil**. Whether it's poor rain runoff, a lack of proper gutters, or a broken sewer line beneath the surface, that water causes the clay-rich Texas soil to swell, shrink, and shift—taking your foundation with it.
At X-Treme Steel Foundation Repair, we don’t mess around with surface-level patch jobs. We go deep. **Our steel pier system is designed to bypass all the unstable topsoil and lock your foundation into solid, unmoving ground**—a solution that holds up no matter how wet or dry it gets above.
HOW IT WORKS
We install **galvanized steel foundation piers**, each one engineered to resist corrosion with a protective zinc coating. These piers are hydraulically pressed beneath your foundation, **often 15 to 30 feet deep**, until they reach what’s known as **load-bearing strata**—a layer of dense, compact soil capable of supporting your home’s weight without shifting.
And we don’t just guess when we’ve hit the right depth. We press our piers until we reach **at least 10,000 PSI of resistance**, confirming we’ve landed in solid ground. That’s how we build a long-term fix that actually lasts.
What Sets Our Steel Piers Apart?
Galvanized steel construction with corrosion-resistant zinc coating.
Installed using hydraulic pressure for accurate, load-tested depth.
Pressed to 10,000 PSI or load refusal—never based on guesswork or depth alone.
Engineered pier layout reviewed and approved by licensed structural engineers.
Lifetime transferable warranty for long-term peace of mind.
Ideal for San Antonio’s clay soils and expansive ground movement zones.
WHY IT MATTERS
Expansive soils in Texas are constantly changing. Surface-level fixes like concrete patches or shallow piers only last until the next season's rain or drought. That’s why we go deeper—past the moisture-prone zones and into soil that stays put, year-round. **Our goal is simple**: give you a foundation that won’t move, shift, or crack again—no matter what the weather does above.
