Price Match Guarantee on Push Piers
At Foundation Masters, LLC, we believe engineer-designed foundation repair shouldn’t break the bank. Our mission is to provide high-performance push pier systems at a competitive price — with the added security of licensed engineering oversight.
If you’ve received a quote from another company, we’ll match their price on the same scope of work — and include FREE engineering. (We review the competitor’s proposed scope to ensure it’s structurally correct and not just a sales pitch.)
Why Our Price Match Matters
Many foundation repair companies rely on sales teams rather than engineers. We take a design-first approach:
- Every project is engineer-inspected and custom-designed for your soils and structure.
- We ensure the competitor’s plan is structurally sound before matching.
- You get equal or better quality at a matched price — plus engineering included.

Understanding Push Pier Systems
Push piers — also called resistance piers, press piles, or hydraulically driven piers — have been solving settlement problems for 100+ years.
- Design: high-strength round steel tubes hydraulically driven to competent load-bearing strata.
- Capacity: modern steel push piers can safely support 40–120 kips (40,000–120,000 lbs) per pier when driven to refusal and verified by hydraulic pressure.
- Longevity: properly galvanized or epoxy-coated steel can exceed 75+ years in typical soil environments when designed per the FHWA Geotechnical Engineering Circular No. 7 (Federal Highway Administration).
Why We Don’t Use Bracket-Mounted Plates
Most installers cut away part of the existing footing to mount a steel plate bracket. Our engineers avoid this because:
- Footing integrity is compromised when you jackhammer the original design.
- Lift is offset — brackets place the pier slightly away from the load-bearing wall, increasing risk of long-term deflection.
Our proprietary system installs the pier directly under the load-bearing wall, providing a true vertical push and more controlled lift.
Our Installation Process
- Engineer Site Visit — soil/structure review and load analysis.
- Custom Design — pier layout directly under load-bearing walls for optimal lift.
- Hydraulic Driving & Verification — each pier driven to refusal with pressure logs.
- Controlled Lift & Stabilization — safe correction without weakening the original footing.
- Documentation — you receive an engineer-sealed plan and load test data for your records or insurance.
Note: Engineering of underpinning in Florida follows the engineer of record’s design and sealed drawings, not prescriptive building code. For background, see the Florida Board of Professional Engineers and the Florida Building Commission.

Frequently Asked Questions — Push Pier Price Match
What exactly is a push pier?
A push pier is a steel pile hydraulically driven into stable soil or bedrock below your foundation. It transfers the building’s weight to competent strata and can lift and stabilize a settled structure.
Will you match any company’s price?
We match quotes from major providers such as Ram Jack, LRE Ground Services, Olshan Foundation Repair, and other licensed contractors — provided the scope is equivalent and technically sound.
Do I need an engineer to design my push pier repair?
Yes. Underpinning design in Florida is the responsibility of the engineer of record. An engineer ensures correct pier depth, load capacity, and documentation for permitting or insurance.
How much weight can a push pier hold?
Most engineered residential piers safely support 40–120 kips (40,000–120,000 lbs) each, depending on soil and steel size, verified by hydraulic pressure logs.
Will a push pier repair last?
Properly engineered and protected push piers can last 75+ years, especially when galvanized or epoxy coated and driven to competent bearing soils per FHWA guidelines.
