Yes, foundation piers can fail over time due to several factors, including extreme soil subsidence, severe corrosion of steel components, poor initial engineering design, overloading, shifting expansive clay soils, or severe subterranean water erosion. When piers fail, buildings experience renewed settling, wall cracking, sticking doors, and uneven uneven flooring requiring professional remediation.
