Resistance Piers & Push Piers
Atlanta Resistance Pier Installation & Foundation Stabilization
If your home or commercial building is sinking, shifting, or showing signs of foundation failure, resistance piers — also known as push piers — may be the long-term solution you need. At Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs, we’ve been stabilizing structures across Metro Atlanta since 1930 using proven techniques and durable, American-made materials built to last a lifetime.
With over 95 years of experience working with Georgia’s challenging clay soils, we know what it takes to restore structural integrity and protect your property’s value. Our resistance pier systems are engineered to correct foundation settlement and provide lasting peace of mind — without compromising your existing foundation.

The Anglin’s Difference: No Drilling. No Damage.
Not all pier systems are installed the same way. Many contractors bolt brackets into the foundation footing or drill into the concrete — which can cause cracks or long-term damage.
At Anglin’s, we use a proprietary bracket system that avoids all of that. Our custom-engineered brackets attach securely to the footing without drilling or bolting, protecting the integrity of your foundation. It’s a method we’ve refined over decades and back with our lifetime guarantee.
What Are Push Piers and Resistance Piers?
Push piers, also called resistance piers, are heavy-duty steel piles driven hydraulically into the ground until they reach stable, load-bearing strata beneath your home or building. Once installed, they transfer the weight of the structure from weak, shifting soil to solid ground below — preventing further settlement and, in many cases, lifting the foundation back toward its original position.
Push piers and a resistance piers are a smart solution for:
Inspection & Evaluation
Settling or sinking foundations
Foundation Stabilization
Cracked walls, brickwork, or slabs
Hydraulic Lifting & Leveling
Sticking doors and windows
Anchoring & Reinforcement
Uneven or sloping floors
Masonry Repair & Cosmetic Finishing
Buildings affected by erosion or poor soil compaction
Whether your deck is sinking due to poor initial construction or soil movement, we’ll ensure it’s fully supported from the ground up — for life.
Why Choose Resistance Piers?
Foundation issues don’t fix themselves — and the longer you wait, the worse they get. Push piers offer a permanent solution by targeting the underlying issue: unstable soil.
Benefits of resistance piers include:
- Immediate stabilization of the structure
- Potential to lift and realign the foundation
- Minimal disruption during installation
- Long-term protection from future settling
- Improved property value and structural confidence
This method is especially effective in Georgia’s unpredictable soil conditions, including red clay and mixed fill common throughout Metro Atlanta.
We promise what we do and we do what we promise.
