Foundation Pile Driving Builds Support from the Ground Up
New builds require a sturdy foundation, but if you’re building on poor soil conditions, your building’s in danger before construction even begins. Pile driving stabilizes your home’s foundation and saves you costly future repairs.
Pile Driving Is Ideal When Soil Conditions Aren’t
Building a new house takes months of planning, and one of the first steps is assessing your site’s soil quality.
A weak or wet top layer of soil can create an unstable foundation. Your newly-built home could begin to collapse, slide down the hillside, or sink into the ground on which it’s built.
Pile driving solves imperfect soil conditions, giving you a sturdy foundation.
How Pile Driving Builds a Stronger Home
Piles are usually long, vertical columns made from concrete or steel. Our crews use a pile driver to push piles through different layers of soil until they reach either solid rock or a strong and stable soil layer.
Once installed, piles form a deep foundation for your home, evenly distributing its weight.
Ground Improvement That Saves You Money
Home insurance doesn’t usually cover the expense of repairing your home if it slides or sinks. Fixing foundation issues in an existing home can be costly, and with no help from insurance, you’ll be footing the bill on your own.
If your existing home needs foundation repair, we can help. But we recommend installing steel piles before building your home so you can enjoy it – without worrying about foundation issues down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pile Driving in Oregon
- What if my home's already been built without piles?
We can stabilize existing homes with foundation repair services. Don’t wait until those little wall cracks turn into a sinking room – call us today for an estimate.
- What affects the cost of your pile driving services?
Before we can give you an accurate estimate, we’ll need to check your site’s soil conditions. That will help us guess how far down we’ll have to go to find a solid layer. Drilling depth and sloping sites can drive foundation costs up, but they’re usually cheaper than the cost of repairing your foundation after the home’s built (and sinking).
- Do you use the same methods for all pile driving jobs?
Pile driving methods depend on the site, the soil conditions, and the size of the structure. Some sites might require speciality piling methods (like mini piles on a site with limited access), but for most jobs, traditional driven piles or bored piles will create a strong foundation.
- What are piles made from?
Over the years, piles have been made of various materials – some older ones were even made of wood! But these days, piles are made of stronger stuff like concrete and steel, so they can withstand decades of wet, hard conditions without budging an inch.
