The King Piers System
Kansas City’s trusted solution for sinking foundations.
Engineered to lift. Built to last.
Trusted by 20K+ homeowners across the Kansas City Metro
For homeowners searching for expert foundation repair in Kansas City, the King Piers System offers a proven engineering solution.
Is the King Piers System Right for Your Home?
Not every foundation problem requires piers — and that’s exactly why we start with an evaluation, not a sales pitch.
The King Piers System is typically recommended when:
• A foundation has experienced measurable settlement or sinking
• Cracks are widening or returning after cosmetic repairs
• Floors are sloping or doors/windows are sticking
• Soil conditions require support on undisturbed, load-bearing soil
If your issue is cosmetic or minor, we’ll tell you that too. Our goal is to match the right solution to the real problem — not oversell a system you don’t need.
No Shortcuts. No Slab Cutting. Just Real Engineering.
Exterior Access, Not Interior Damage
We hand-dig 3’ x 3’ holes from the outside, protecting your basement slab.
Oversized Steel Load Plates
Custom 2’ x 3’ x ½” steel plates support more weight with less stress.
4000 PSI Reinforced Concrete
Stronger than industry-standard grout. Poured in multiple stages for stability.
Installed on Undisturbed Soil
We dig deep to reach virgin soil — no settling, no shortcuts.
Most systems rely on small push piers or helical screws that shift over time. The King Pier System is designed to lift — and last. Unlike other foundation repair companies in Kansas City, our system lifts, not just stabilizes.
Not Sure If Your Foundation Needs Stabilization?
A professional foundation inspection can determine whether your home is experiencing normal settling or structural movement. King Piers provides honest evaluations so homeowners understand the cause of the problem and the safest repair options.

How the King Pier System Works: Step-by-Step
Free Site Visit & Structural Evaluation
We begin with a no-cost inspection to assess settlement, soil conditions, and load distribution. This structural evaluation helps determine the cause, urgency, and most appropriate repair approach before any recommendations are made.
Custom Pier Design Based on Soil & Load
Our piers are engineered for strength. We factor in your home’s weight, the depth of the footing, and soil conditions to ensure each pier is installed on undisturbed, load-bearing soil.
Excavation: Interior or Exterior Access
Depending on your foundation, we may dig from the exterior or along an interior basement wall. If slab access is required, we make clean, targeted cuts — no unnecessary damage.
Pier Installation & Structural Lift
We place a ½" steel load-bearing plate beneath the footing, lift with hydraulic jacks, and pour 4000 PSI fiber-reinforced concrete to permanently lock the system in place.
Final Inspection, Video & Backfill
We confirm the lift, document the work on video, carefully backfill the site, and include a lifetime structural warranty for peace of mind.
