Steel piers are widely considered to be the best piering method for Dallas/ Fort Worth soils.

  1. By combining steel and concrete materials the St3 system provides the best of both worlds. The St3 provides the strength and depth of steel and the durability of concrete.
  2. All steel is susceptible to rust. This occurs when steel comes into contact with water and oxygen. The only place this occurs is at the upper reaches of a pier. Transitioning to concrete at the upper portion of the pier eliminates this concern, as concrete has greater durability when in contact with the elements.
  3. Steel piers regularly achieve depths up to 100% greater than concrete piers. This greatly increases the likelihood of hitting bedrock.
  4. All of our steel parts are engineered specifically for foundation repair.
  5. The pier consists of double walled steel pipe. The inner pipe is 2 3/8 in diameter, while the outer wall is 2 7/8 in diameter.
  6. The design of the system guarantees that each piece of the system is locked together.
  7. Steel piers can be spread further apart than concrete pilings, thus helping mitigate the additional cost of steel.
  8. The St3 System comes with a no-cost Lifetime Transferable Warranty. This means that any future adjustments would be done at no cost to the homeowner.
  9. No Warranty Transfer Fees. The Warranty stays with the home, regardless of owner.$550/ea
