The solution for settled, uneven concrete floors or a failing concrete slab is just a phone call away. The Grip-Tite® Slab Pier System levels and stabilizes concrete floors.
The Grip-Tite® Slab Pier System utilizes high strength tube steel to extend support of the slab to below the “active” soils. A reinforced concrete bulb is then created at each pier location beneath the slab to provide uniform bearing support and to effectively transfer the load from the slab, to the top of the pier, and to the deeper competent soils.
With the Grip-Tite® Slab Pier System, heavy duty steel brackets are attached to the failed slab and steel piers driven beneath to stable soil strata. Utilizing hydraulic equipment, the concrete slab is lifted to the appropriate level, stabilized and the bracket is removed.
The cost-effective Grip-Tite Slab Pier System does not require heavy equipment and is installed year-round even in areas with limited or tight access.
