What Are Slab Piers? 

A slab pier is a type of foundation repair component specifically designed to stabilize and potentially lift settling or sunken concrete slabs.  

These piers are often made of steel and are installed beneath the slab to provide support by transferring the weight of the structure to more stable soil or bedrock deeper in the ground.
