Does my settling house need foundation raising?
Foundation raising in Sunrise Manor sets steel piers down through the loose soil near the surface and into firm ground, so your house rests on soil that holds still, and it often brings the foundation back toward where it started.
Most people call me once they've spotted a new crack or something in the house that's started to look off, and they want to know how serious it is and what it'll take. The price mostly comes down to how many piers your house needs, how deep we have to go to reach firm soil and whether we can work outside or have to come in through a floor. The schedule turns on those same things, plus how much is in the way, like a patio or a planted bed. I can't know any of that until I've seen the house, so the written quote I give you spells out each piece. We're based in Sunrise Manor and work in the cities around it, so if you're not sure we come out your way, just ask.
How we go about foundation raising
I start with the signs you've noticed and then walk around the house, because how much room there is outside decides a lot before we ever suggest a pier type. If foam isn't the right fix for your house, I'll say so. Once we've settled on a pier, the crew digs at each spot along the foundation and drives the piers with hydraulic equipment. On helical piers we watch the torque readings, a measure of how hard the pier is turning, because they tell us when it's reached soil that can carry the house. Then we bring the house up toward where it started, fill the holes back in and clean up.
Some jobs need more than piers. When the best spot for a pier sits under a patio, walkway or garage floor, we use concrete cutting to open a clean section instead of breaking it out by hand, and we patch it when we're done. If your driveway sank along with the house or cracked past saving, our concrete driveway building crew can pour you a new one once the house is steady.
Helical piers
Helical piers turn into the ground under hydraulic power instead of being pushed down against the house's own weight. That suits a lighter, single-story home, where there isn't enough weight above to drive a pier deep.
Push piers
One pier supplier says push piers give strong support where a dense layer of soil sits fairly close to the surface. They usually need room to dig outside the house, so they fit an open lot better than a tight side yard.
What Sunrise Manor ground means for foundation raising
One contractor directory says Las Vegas valley soil includes hard caliche, a cement-like layer, and pockets of expansive clay that swells when it's wet and shrinks as it dries. It also notes that flash floods can wash out under slabs where drainage is poor. So I look at where the water runs off your roof and yard as closely as I look at the cracks, because piers steady a house but they won't stop water from working its way under the slab next to it. We run into the same mix of ground on jobs in Henderson and Boulder City.
If you have a question about what the building code asks of a foundation or about grading on your lot, Clark County's geotechnical plan reviewers answer public questions on soils, grading and foundation construction. I'm glad to go over what they tell you.
Why Sunrise Manor homeowners call Keystone Sunrise Manor Concrete for foundation raising
I look at every job myself
I come out to look at your house myself, and our crew does the work with me on site. The person who picked your piers is the one standing there while they go in.
Learned on a municipal crew
I learned concrete on a municipal crew, pouring sidewalks, curbs and pads that the public walked on every day. I started this business in Sunrise Manor in 2023 to bring that same care to homeowners here.
Ask about our license first
We're licensed and fully insured. The Nevada State Contractors Board lists a classification called Piers and Foundations, so ask any contractor which classification they hold before you sign.
On a foundation job, the part that matters ends up underground where nobody sees it again, so it pays to get the pier choice right before anything gets dug. Send us your details or call (702) 425-1723, and I'll come take a look.

What happens after you call about foundation raising in Sunrise Manor?
Call or send the form
Call (702) 425-1723 or fill out the form, and we'll set a time for me to come out. It helps to tell us what you've noticed and where in the house it is.
I walk and measure the job
I look at the signs, measure the room around the house and ask how you use the yard, then write up a quote that lists what's in it. You'll see how many piers we're suggesting, where they go and why, so you know what you're paying for.
We set the piers and clean up
Once you say yes, we plan the work with you, and I'm on site with the crew from the first hole to the last cleanup. We put the soil back and leave the lot tidy before we call it done.
Frequently asked questions
How do helical piers lift a house?
Helical piers lift a house by carrying its weight on firm soil deep down instead of the loose dirt near the surface. Each one is a steel shaft with bearing plates, wide plates along the shaft, that hydraulic equipment turns down into load-bearing ground. With the weight moved onto them, the foundation steadies and often comes back up toward its original position.
What is the best way to raise a sinking house, foam or piers?
For the house itself, piers are usually the better choice. One pier supplier says polyurethane foam is generally not recommended for steadying a foundation and sees it as a tool for sidewalks, driveways or interior slabs that have settled less than 2 inches. If it's a sunken walk or a low spot in the driveway, foam may be worth talking about, but the structure belongs on piers.
Can we stay in the house during foundation raising?
Usually, yes. One helical pile maker's design manual describes helical piles as vibration-free and says a building can keep running with little inconvenience to the people inside. You'll hear the equipment and see us in the yard, and I'll tell you at the estimate if any part of the job means working inside.
How much does foundation raising cost in Sunrise Manor?
Foundation repair in the Las Vegas area usually costs about $550 to $2,000 per pier or repair point, and that's the going rate around the valley, not a price of ours. Your total comes down to how many piers your house needs, which I count at the walk-through and list in your written quote. Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
How do I tell if my foundation is settling?
The usual signs are drywall cracks above doors and windows, doors and windows that stick, and floors that slope or feel uneven. Gaps opening between the walls, ceiling and floor, and cracks in brick veneer or along the edge of the slab, are on the list for Las Vegas homes too. If you're seeing a few of these, give us a call and I'll come take a look.
Will foundation raising tear up my yard in Sunrise Manor?
It can if we work from outside, because that leaves room for full-size hydraulic equipment but disturbs more of the landscaping. When a patio, a wall or a tight side yard blocks the outside, piers can go in from inside the house instead. I'll show you where we'd work and what gets moved before you decide.
Other concrete work that goes with it
Concrete cutting
Saw-cutting also handles jobs away from the foundation, like opening a slab for new plumbing or trimming a broken edge, with straight lines and less mess than breaking it out by hand.
Concrete driveway building
A driveway that's sinking at the garage or holding water usually sat on a base nobody packed, so we pour new ones on ground that's dug out and compacted first.
