Exterior Piers Help Support Areas Affected by Foundation Settlement.
Exterior piers are installed along affected areas of the foundation to provide additional support where settlement or movement has occurred.
The goal is not simply to address what you can see above ground. It is to strengthen support beneath the structure based on where movement is happening and what the property actually needs.
Because every foundation behaves differently, pier placement and repair recommendations should begin with a proper inspection.

Understanding Settlement
Foundation Movement Starts Below the Surface
Several conditions can change how evenly a home is supported over time, including soil movement, changing moisture levels, poor drainage, erosion, and long-term settlement.
When those conditions cause part of the foundation to settle or move, exterior piers can provide additional support beneath the affected areas.
Depending on the condition of the property, exterior piers may help:
- Provide additional support beneath settled areas
- Stabilize portions of the foundation experiencing movement
- Create stronger support points beneath the structure
- Address settlement as part of a broader foundation repair plan
The important part is identifying why the movement is happening first. Exterior piers are not automatically the right solution for every crack or foundation concern, which is why the repair should begin with a proper evaluation.
How It Works
A Straightforward Process From Inspection to Repair
We evaluate the areas showing signs of movement and look for conditions that may be contributing to settlement.
We determine where support has changed and which portions of the foundation may require attention.
We explain what we found, where piers may be recommended, and why.
Once the repair plan is clear, the exterior piers are installed to provide added support to the affected areas.

Why Team
Straight Answers Before the Repair Starts.
Foundation work is a major decision. You should understand what is happening to your property before agreeing to a repair.
Since 2014, Team Foundation Repair has focused on combining structural expertise with straightforward communication.
Since 2014, we have focused on structural repair work across foundations, crawl spaces, concrete, and drainage. That experience is what allows us to identify what is actually causing the movement.
We explain what we find in plain terms, show you the conditions we are seeing, and walk through the reasoning behind any recommendation before work begins.
If a repair is not needed, we will tell you. Recommendations are based on the condition of the structure, not on a preset sales approach.
Repairs are matched to the problem and the property, so the work addresses the cause of the movement rather than only the visible symptom.

FAQ
Answers to the Questions We Hear Most Often
Foundation problems can create a lot of questions. Here are answers to a few of the things homeowners ask us most often.
Cracks in walls or brickwork, uneven floors, sticking doors or windows, and gaps around frames can all be signs of foundation movement. These symptoms don’t always mean the footing is damaged, but they deserve a closer look—especially if they’re new or getting worse. An inspection can help identify the cause and determine whether repairs are needed.
Settlement can happen when the soil beneath a foundation compresses, shifts, or loses support. Changes in moisture, poorly compacted fill, and erosion can contribute to uneven movement. Understanding what is happening beneath and around the affected area helps determine the appropriate repair.
We start by inspecting the affected area and evaluating how it relates to the rest of your home. We consider the foundation type, signs of movement, visible damage, and contributing conditions such as moisture or drainage. From there, we explain our findings and recommend a repair suited to the problem.
Yes. Water collecting near your home can change the condition of the soil supporting the foundation. Excess moisture may cause some soils to swell or soften, while flowing water can wash supporting material away. When drainage contributes to foundation movement, addressing that water problem may be an important part of the repair plan.
You don’t need to diagnose the problem before contacting us. Tell us what you’ve noticed, where it’s happening, and whether it has changed over time. Our team can inspect the area, explain what we find, and help you understand the next step.
