Two kinds of foundation repair piers

  • Push piers

    Steel piers driven down hydraulically until they rest on dense ground or bedrock. They suit heavier houses, since the weight of the house helps push them deep.

  • Helical piers

    Steel shafts with screw-shaped plates that a machine turns into the ground until they hold in firm soil. They suit lighter houses and mixed soils.

Why is my floor cracking, and do I need foundation repair?

Foundation repair in Rocklin usually means setting steel piers under the sinking parts of your house, pushed or turned down until they rest on firm soil or rock, so the house is held up by steady ground instead of soil that moves.

Most calls we get at Prestige Rocklin Concrete and Masonry start with a crack across a floor or up a wall that wasn't there last year, and a common cause is soil that swells when it's wet and shrinks when it dries, moving more than a house can take. What you'll pay comes down mostly to how many piers your house needs and how much digging and site work it takes to reach them, and the schedule turns on that same count and on whether the city wants a permit. I'll give you both in a written estimate once I've seen the house.

Foundation repair and the site work around it

I decide what your house needs from where it's cracking and how heavy it is, then tell you which pier I'd use and why before you sign anything.

  • Reading the cracks

    I check where floors and walls have cracked, and the chimney too, since settling there can call for chimney repair down the road.

  • An engineer when it's serious

    If the cracks look serious, I'll suggest an engineer's opinion before you spend big, and one pier maker's guide calls that a good idea too.

  • Digging and setting piers

    Our crew digs down at each pier spot and sets the piers until they rest on firm soil or rock under the house.

  • Backfill, brick and cleanup

    We put the soil back and clean up, and if mortar joints cracked we can refill them with tuckpointing so water stays out.

Why homeowners pick Prestige Rocklin Concrete and Masonry

I first mixed mortar on a family farm, then learned the trade beside other masons. I'd rather fix the cause than patch the crack you can see, and I'd rather tell you a job can wait than sell you one you don't need.

  • The one who quotes it shows up

    I come out to look at your foundation myself, and the same small crew I work beside does the work, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the job.

  • Five years of brick and stone

    We've been in business since 2021, five years now, and most of our calls are brick and stone repair, so we know what a settling house does to its masonry.

  • Licensed and insured on every job

    We're licensed and insured. The state only lets an unlicensed worker take minor jobs up to $1,000 that need no permit and where they hire no help, so it's worth asking every bidder.

What happens when you call about foundation repair in Rocklin?

We plan the job around your house and your questions, so you know the pier count, the site work and what it all costs before the crew digs anything.

Foundation repair questions we hear

How do I choose between push piers and helical piers for my house?

Start with how heavy your house is, because that usually decides it. One pier maker says push piers suit heavy houses over dense ground within reach, while helical piers suit lighter houses and mixed soils. Ask every bidder why their pier fits your house, and I'll tell you my reason too.

Will push piers work on a single story house on a slab in Rocklin?

Often not, because single story homes, slab homes, crawl space homes and additions can weigh too little to drive a push pier far enough. Helical piers get their driving force from the machine instead of the house, which is why that same pier maker points lighter homes toward them.

What causes foundation cracks in Rocklin homes?

Soil that shrinks and swells is a common cause around here, and that kind of soil can damage foundations. Soils with moderate to high shrink-swell potential sit mainly in the low western part of Placer County, from Rocklin out to the county line, so I look at the ground around your house as closely as the cracks.

How much does foundation repair cost in Rocklin?

Foundation repair in the Sacramento area usually costs about $600 to $2,300 per pier or repair point, and that's the going range, not a quote. Your total depends on how many piers your house needs and what site work comes with them, so ask every bidder for both in writing. Our written estimate lists the pier count and the site work so you can see what you're paying for.

How do you know a helical pier is holding?

Each helical pier can be checked as it goes in, because the turning force it takes to drive it shows its holding strength. One pier maker says that makes helical piers the better fit when every pier has to be checked during the job.

What does my yard look like after foundation pier work?

Usually not much different once the dirt is back. One maker's push piers go in through small hand-dug holes, and after the soil is replaced it's usually very hard to see where the work was done.

Foundation repair permits and jobs around Rocklin

The city decides whether pier work under your house needs a permit, and the Rocklin Permit Center is where questions and plans go first. If yours needs one, we handle the paperwork with them, and the city's Building Division does the plan review and the inspections.

Around Rocklin we see plenty of slab homes and single story houses with cracks running across floors and up the corners of walls, and we meet the same kind of ground on jobs in Roseville and Lincoln. We're based in Rocklin and work in the cities around it, so if you don't see yours listed, just ask.
