Homes of every era across the San Antonio metro: what fails, what it costs and how the job is scheduled.
Methods
Three ways to put a pier under a San Antonio house
The soil picks the method more than the salesman does. Clay favors pressed pilings, shallow rock favors steel, and an engineer's plan sometimes calls for drilled piers.
Pressed concrete pilings
Precast cylinders pressed to refusal using the weight of the house. The workhorse in deep clay south and east of the fault and the lowest cost per pier.
$350–$600 per pier
Pressed steel piers
Steel pipe driven deeper and more predictably through mixed soil, or where rock is shallow and concrete pilings stop short.
$1,000–$1,800 per pier
Drilled bell-bottom piers
Drilled, belled and poured in place to an engineer's plan. Slower, with cure time, but the long-standing engineered choice in Texas.
$1,200–$2,200 per pier
Not sure it needs piers?
Watch it, fix the water, or pier it
Piers are the most expensive answer and not always the right one. We would rather tell you to run a soaker hose than sell you twelve piers you did not need.
- Watch it
Hairline cracks, seasonal doors
A door that sticks in August and closes in October, a hairline crack in drywall or a stem wall with no offset. Photograph it, date it, and check again after the next wet season.
Signs that matter, ranked - Fix the water
Drainage, trees and leaks
Water pooling at the slab, a downspout dumping at the corner, a live oak on one side, or a wet spot that never dries. Often the whole fix, always the first step before piers.
Drainage correction - Pier it
Measured movement, widening cracks
An elevation survey showing an inch or more of differential, brick cracks you can fit a coin in, doors and windows that jam year-round, floors that slope. Written proposal with a pier plan.
