Pier and Beam Foundation Repair
For pier and beam homes, QFR uses Adjust-A-Piers exclusively, a system that can be re-leveled later if the foundation shifts again, rather than a fixed pier that requires full replacement.

Pier and Beam Homes Need a Different System
Older Austin-area homes built on posts and piers over a crawl space settle differently than slab homes, usually showing up as sagging or bouncy floors and sticking doors as support posts weaken or shift.
We use Adjust-A-Piers exclusively for pier and beam foundations, a system that can be re-leveled later if the foundation shifts again, rather than a fixed pier that would need full replacement.

Foundation Repair Solutions
Methods used to stabilize and repair foundation problems based on the cause.
Foundation Underpinning
Underpinning stabilizes foundations by transferring the load to deeper, more stable soil layers and bedrock, using QFR's steel push pier or Adjust-A-Pier systems depending on foundation type.
Deep Foundation Systems
A deep foundation system carries a structure's weight past the reactive surface soil to strata that does not move. At QFR that system is our in house manufactured steel push pier, driven hydraulically to load bearing strata.
Push Piers
QFR's in-house manufactured steel push piers are driven hydraulically to load-bearing strata to stabilize and lift settled slab foundations.
Slab Piers
Slab piers support and stabilize sunken concrete slabs, particularly useful in commercial settings with larger slab spans.
Micro Piles
Micro piles is the name we use for our own steel push piers when access is tight: crawl spaces, interior openings, or a narrow side yard. Same in house manufactured pier, same load bearing depth, installed with compact hydraulic equipment.
Central Texas Clay Behind Pier and Beam Foundation Repair
Austin's expansive Blackland clay shrinks in dry summers and swells after rain, cycling in volume with every wet and dry season. Homes built on this clay can experience ongoing movement as the soil expands and contracts. Where that movement shows up depends on the home and foundation type.

Finished Pier and Beam Repairs
Adjust-A-Piers set on concrete footings under the beam. Each one can be adjusted again later if the house moves.
