→ The Perma Jack® Story, Built on a Strong Foundation
After watching his neighbor’s ineffective and expensive foundation repair, George Langenbach set off to develop a better solution. In 1974, he revolutionized the industry with the Perma Jack® system which works like a bumper jack for foundations.
After franchising the system, George expanded to dealers across the country. Today, his son, John, continues this legacy.
→ How Perma Jack Works
Inspect & Measure – We evaluate cracks, doors/windows, floors, and elevations.
Place Steel Piers – Small access holes are made along the footing.
Drive to Load-Bearing Strata – USA steel piers are hydraulically driven to refusal (stable soil/bedrock).
Secure Brackets – Heavy-duty brackets connect the pier to your foundation.
Lift & Stabilize – We carefully lift where possible and lock the structure in place.
Backfill & Clean Up – We restore the area and review the results with you.

Perma Jack Steel Pier System vs concrete pier system
→ Perma Jack Steel Piers
- Driven to load-bearing strata for permanent support
- No cure time; can lift/stabilize the same day
- Smaller access, cleaner installation
- Predictable, measurable results per pier
→ Concrete Piers
- Often shallow and rely on soil friction in active clay
- Require curing, delaying stabilization
- Larger excavations; more disruption
- More likely to move with moisture changes in expansive soils
Why NOT Concrete Piers in South Texas?
→ Our region’s expansive clays swell and shrink with rain and drought. Shallow concrete piers set in these active layers can move with the soil, bringing the problem back. Deep-driven steel piers bypass those active zones and bear on stable layers for long-term results.
