Hydro-Pier™ is the first-ever passive foundation irrigation system designed to stabilize foundations by hydrating clay soils. It directs water deep into the ground, preventing soil shrinkage and uneven settlement.

Hydro-Pier™ utilizes perforated drainage components strategically placed around a home’s foundation—similar to pier placements in traditional foundation repair. These components allow water to infiltrate compacted soil, promoting even expansion and reducing settlement.

Clay soils expand when wet and shrink when dry, creating uneven movement beneath foundations. Over time, this cycle leads to cracks, sinking, and structural instability. Hydro-Pier™ helps regulate soil moisture, reducing these effects.

Yes, Hydro-Pier™ is a preventative and corrective solution that addresses the root cause of foundation settlement—moisture imbalance. Unlike traditional foundation repairs that rely on piers or underpinning, Hydro-Pier™ stabilizes the soil itself, reducing the need for invasive methods.

Yes. Hydro-Pier™ can complement existing foundation repairs by maintaining consistent moisture levels to prevent further shifting and protect previous repairs.

No. Hydro-Pier™ is a completely passive system, relying on natural rainfall, sprinkler runoff, or manual watering to hydrate the soil—no electricity, pumps, or maintenance required.

Hydro-Pier™ is strategically placed in areas where foundation settlement has occurred—just like traditional piers but without invasive digging or structural modifications. Each unit is installed around the perimeter of the foundation to direct water deep into the soil.

Results vary based on soil conditions, climate, and existing foundation movement, but many homeowners see improved stability within a few months as the soil gradually rehydrates and expands.

Yes. By maintaining balanced moisture levels, Hydro-Pier™ prevents future settlement and helps extend the life of your foundation.

Traditional foundation watering methods apply water at the surface, leading to high evaporation and runoff losses. Hydro-Pier™ bypasses these issues, directing water deep into the soil where it’s needed most.

Yes. While natural rainfall enhances its effectiveness, Hydro-Pier™ can be supplemented manually or mechanically to maintain consistent soil moisture levels even in drought-prone areas.

No. Hydro-Pier™ is a static system that requires no ongoing maintenance—set it and let nature do the work!

Yes. Hydro-Pier™ is an eco-friendly solution that reduces water waste, prevents soil erosion, and eliminates the need for energy-consuming foundation repair methods.

Yes. Hydro-Pier™ can be utilized for both residential and commercial properties, helping to stabilize slab foundations that have settled in areas with expansive clay soils.

Signs you may need Hydro-Pier™ include: Cracks in walls, ceilings, or floors, uneven or sloping floors, doors and windows sticking, soil pulling away from the foundation, gaps between walls and ceilings.
