The Grip-Tite® Push Pier System uses high-strength steel tubes to hydraulically advance piers to bedrock, permanently stopping foundation settlement — installed in days without heavy equipment.
The Grip-Tite® Push Pier System stops and prevents foundation settlement by driving steel tubes through unstable soil to bedrock or other competent load-bearing strata. The system uses the weight of the structure itself to hydraulically advance the piers — no heavy equipment needed.
Push Pier tubes are manufactured from high-strength, low-alloy hot-rolled steel and are offered in 2.78" and 3" diameter in two thicknesses: Standard Duty at 0.12" and Heavy Duty at 0.188". Sleeved couplings provide high resistance to bending throughout the pier column.
Each pier is load tested during installation, and brackets and caps are hot-dipped galvanized for long-term corrosion resistance — giving you a system built to last 100+ years.
A small area of soil is excavated at the base of the foundation to expose the footing and allow bracket installation.
A galvanized steel bracket is secured to the foundation footing, providing the mounting point for the pier tubes.
Steel pier tubes are hydraulically driven through the bracket and deep into the soil until they reach bedrock or stable load-bearing strata.
Once all piers are set, the system is simultaneously loaded to lift and stabilize the foundation back toward its original position.
All hydraulic equipment is removed from the site. The pier system remains permanently in place with no ongoing maintenance required.
Excavated soil is backfilled and compacted, leaving your property looking virtually untouched and the foundation permanently supported.
Pier sections and sleeved couplings are made from high-strength, low-alloy hot-rolled steel with high resistance to bending.
Push piers can be installed in any season, quickly and professionally, with no weather-related delays or scheduling gaps.
An end-bearing pier reaches bedrock directly — it doesn't rely on soil friction for capacity, giving you verified, predictable load performance.
Galvanized brackets and caps resist corrosion for the long haul. These piers are built to outlast the structure they support.
Left untreated, foundation settlement only gets worse — and more expensive to fix. These are the most common warning signs that your foundation may need push pier support. An assessment by a certified technician can determine the severity and the right solution.
The Push Pier System is manufactured in the USA with American steel by Grip-Tite Manufacturing Company, who have been in the foundation repair business since 1921. Their commitment to quality ensures every system is manufactured to the highest industry standards, with materials that provide long-lasting support for structures of all sizes.
All Grip-Tite dealers are independently trained and certified installers backed by over 100 years of anchoring experience. Newcomb Outdoors is a certified dealer proud to serve East Tennessee and surrounding areas.
