A new house completes minor, uniform settling within 2 years as the weight of your house compresses the soil beneath it, causing the house to sink slightly. But if your house begins to sink more than just a few inches and has large stair-step wall cracks of more than ⅛ inches, it’s time to fix it! Lamunyon Dry Out & Foundation Repair offers push pier installation in Kansas to lift a sunken foundation and permanently seal any gaps. Push piers are a long-term, permanent foundation solution, and their installation is quick and minimally invasive. All installations are completed by our highly experienced and certified foundation experts. Contact us today for an evaluation for push pier installation in your area!
What Are Push Piers?Â
A push pier is a type of deep foundation pier that helps to stabilize and lift foundations that have settled or are sinking. They are typically made of steel piers and help to permanently stabilize your home and lift the foundation back to its original position. Push piers are a permanent solution to foundation problems that lift and level foundations, stabilize cracked walls, and prevent future settlement.

Signs You May Need Push Piers
Here are the common signs that your home needs push pier installation:
- Visible cracks that run at 45-degree angles or in a stair-step pattern
- Large wall cracks wider than â…› of an inch
- Cracks near windows, doorways, concrete floors
- Uneven floors
- Sticking, jamming, or misaligned doors and windows
- Noticeable sinking of one or more sides of the home
- Gaps between walls and ceilings
- Leaning, cracking, or tilting chimney
- Collapsing or tilting retaining walls
These are the obvious signs of foundation settlement. However, it’s always best to consult with our qualified foundation repair professionals for a proper diagnosis. Our team determines the severity of the problems and recommends the best course of action.

How Do Push Piers Work?
Push piers act like tiny hydraulic rams for your foundation. Their main purpose is to lift or stabilize a foundation suffering from foundation settlement back to maximum practical recovery. For that purpose, these galvanized steel piers are hydraulically driven deep into bedrock or stable soil. Push piers work by transferring the home’s weight to the stable soil layers. The maximum capacity of these durable piers is 68 thousand pounds.

Advantages Of The Push Pier System in A Foundation
Our push pier systems are renowned in Kansas for their unparalleled strength and longevity. We tailor each installation to your home. A foundation pier system benefits your home in the following ways:
Ensures Foundation StabilityÂ
By reaching deep, stable soil layers, push piers help to transfer your home’s weight away from unstable ground. As a result, this system helps to ensure the long-term stability of your home’s foundation and prevent future settlement.
Minimizes Damage And Risk
Unlike other methods, push piers require minimal excavation, reducing the damage to your property and minimizing the hassles of landscaping. This helps to limit the risks associated with excessive digging.
Provides SupportÂ
We install each pier individually and adjust them to provide support exactly where your foundation needs it most. Push piers help support your home’s foundation and transfer the load to the load-bearing strata.
Helps With Basement Waterproofing
When you stabilize your home with push piers, the piers help prevent cracks and gaps from forming. This also helps basement waterproofing, as it prevents potential water entry points from forming in the foundation walls.
Push piers are a highly durable and reliable option for lifting and stabilizing a sinking or weakened foundation. They last for over 150 years, or the lifetime of the structure. Additionally, they also increase your home’s resale value by 10% to 20%.

Our Push Pier Installation Process in KansasÂ
Push-pier installation is a minimally invasive process and doesn’t require large equipment. Our foundation repair experts are well-equipped with the necessary tools for effective installation.
Our push-pier installation process in Kansas includes the following steps:
Preparing The Foundation Footing
First, we analyze the structure and foundation and determine how many piers are necessary for repairs. Using a “Zip Level,” we take elevation measurements around the flooring of the home or building. During the foundation inspection, we also inspect the crawl space. Our project coordinator will then mark the areas around the structure where we will install the piers. The soil around the footer of the foundation is excavated so that brackets and piers can be installed.
Securing The Foundation Bracket
Once the soil is excavated, we attach the steel brackets to the footer using robust fasteners, ensuring proper alignment and load distribution.
Installing Push Piers
Using a hydraulic ram and the building’s weight, we drive the steel piers through the brackets. In most cases, these piers reach a depth of 25 feet, but in some cases, they can reach 60 feet. How far the pier will go to reach load-bearing strata varies case by case.
Stabilizing And Restoring The Foundation
Once all the push piers have been installed, your house is ready to be stabilized by having the foundation raised. This is done by attaching the brackets to the piers. The foundation is lifted using a hydraulic system. If we’re only stabilizing your home from further settlement, we will cap the remedial brackets. If there’s any void created under the foundation after raising it, we will fill it with polyurethane foam. Once the foundation is lifted and stabilized, we will backfill the excavated soil.
Remember that for push-pier foundation repair, your home’s structure must be heavy enough to push the piers into the ground. If the structure’s foundation is lightweight, we will recommend helical piers to support the foundation.

For small structures that don’t require deep foundation support, helical piers are a better solution. However, helical piers are more expensive than steel push piers.
Since they are minimally invasive and quick to install, our certified and trained foundation experts take roughly 2 to 3 days to install push piers.
