Steel push piers are driven through the slab and into deep, stable soil or bedrock below the active clay zone. Once installed, hydraulic jacks lift the slab back toward its original position and the p

Slab Foundation Repair Methods
Steel Push Piers
Steel push piers are driven through the slab and into deep, stable soil or bedrock below the active clay zone. Once installed, hydraulic jacks lift the slab back toward its original position and the piers are locked in place. Push piers provide a permanent, load-tested repair with minimal disruption to landscaping.
Helical Piers
Helical piers are screwed into the soil rather than driven. They are preferred in lighter-load applications or where limited access prevents the heavy equipment needed for push piers. Helical piers can be installed in tight spaces including interior rooms.
Slabjacking (Mudjacking)
Slabjacking injects a cement-soil slurry beneath the slab through drilled holes to fill voids and lift settled sections. It is lower cost than piering but less permanent — the injected material can shrink or wash away over time. Best suited for garage floors, driveways, and stoops rather than main living area slabs.
Polyurethane Foam Leveling
Expanding polyurethane foam is injected beneath the slab through small (penny-sized) holes. The foam expands to fill voids, lifts the slab, and cures in minutes. Lighter, faster, and less invasive than mudjacking. Best for moderate settlement where the soil base is otherwise stable.
Slab Leak Remediation
If a plumbing leak beneath the slab is the cause of foundation movement, the leak must be addressed before any lifting or leveling will hold. We coordinate slab leak detection and repair as part of the overall foundation repair plan.

FAQ — Slab Foundation Repair in Macon, GA
How do I know if my slab foundation needs repair?
The most reliable signs are cracks in the floor or walls (especially diagonal), sticking doors or windows in multiple locations, sloped floors, and gaps between walls and ceiling. A single sticking door may just be humidity. Multiple symptoms appearing together point to foundation movement.
Can slab foundation repair be done from inside the house?
Yes. Helical pier installation and foam leveling are commonly done from inside with minimal disruption. Push pier installation typically requires exterior access along the foundation perimeter, though interior piers are possible in some configurations.
Will slab foundation repair fix my cracks in the walls?
Stabilizing and lifting the foundation stops further cracking and may allow some existing cracks to close partially. Cosmetic repairs to drywall, tile, and plaster are separate from the foundation work itself.
How long does slab pier installation take in Macon?
Most slab piering jobs take 2–4 days depending on the number of piers and access conditions. Foam leveling for a single settled area can often be completed in a few hours.
Do I need a permit for foundation repair in Macon-Bibb County?
Minor crack repairs typically don't require a permit. Structural repairs — including piering, underpinning, and wall stabilization — generally do require a permit from Macon-Bibb County Development Services. We handle permit applications as part of the job on all permitted work.
