Turnkey Drilling Solutions

You Can Trust S&W Foundation Contractors With Drilled Concrete Piers for Commercial Applications

Our drilled concrete piers are used for underpinning existing and supporting new construction foundations for commercial buildings. Piers are added to a foundation system to extend the system to or into subsurface strata that are deeper and more stable than the near-surface soil that supports an existing or will support a new foundation.

The foundation of your building is the support for the overall structure. When your foundation starts to settle or heave, you will need a company who you can trust that specializes in limited access drilling, like S&W Foundation Contractors to correct the issues using drilled concrete piers.

Commercial Turnkey Piers

Our turnkey drilled concrete pier option includes drilling of the shaft, with a bell or rock penetration if necessary, reinforcing steel, and pouring of concrete.

If you have a need for commercial drilled concrete piers please forward us your plans to include drawings with the number of piers, pier diameter, pier depth, bell width or rock penetration.

COMMON RESIDENTIAL FOUNDATION TYPES IN TEXAS

Do you know what type of foundation supports your home?

Here in Texas, the most typically used residential foundation types are concrete slabs and pier & beam.

Concrete Slab Foundation

A common structural foundation element of modern homes that is mostly about 4 inches thick constructed with concrete and reinforcing steel. Concrete slabs are typically constructed directly on subsoil and are ground bearing.

Pier & Beam Foundation

A structural foundation consists of a perimeter grade beam and numerous piers within the grade beam that support wooden beams (girders) and joists.

Almost all homes will have some sort of seasonal movement but a lot will succumb to settlement due to soil moisture fluctuations or insufficient soil bearing capacity.

Once this happens it will typically get worse in the future. With S&W Foundation, you will get prompt and reliable foundation repair using drilled concrete piers that you can trust.
