In regions such as southeast Texas where expansive clay soils rule, foundations constantly shift due to seasonal moisture fluctuations. When clay soils dry out, they shrink and harden, causing foundations to fall downwards or "settle". When rehydrated, they expand, creating lift. Without consistent moisture levels, this cycle leads to uneven foundation movement, cracks, and costly damage.
Hydro-Pier™ is a first-of-its-kind passive foundation irrigation system that strategically channels water directly to settled areas of the foundation. It is designed to mimic traditional pier placements but instead of rigid supports, it recharges the soil naturally to promote even movement and long-term stabilization. .
Strategic Placement: Installed where settlement has occurred, just like traditional piers.
Efficient Water Delivery: Uses perforated drainage components to direct rainwater, sprinkler runoff, or manually applied water deep into the soil.
Passive or Controlled Use: Works naturally with rainfall or can be supplemented manually or mechanically when needed.
Promotes Even Soil Expansion: By hydrating dry, compacted clay, Hydro-Pier™ encourages gradual soil lift, reducing foundation stress.
No Pumps, No Electricity: 100% passive system with no ongoing costs.
Reduces Water Waste: Maximizes natural infiltration instead of runoff.
Eco-Friendly & Non-Invasive: Works with nature, not against it.
Designed for Expansive Clay Soils: Addresses the root cause of foundation settlement.
