Helical Piers Stabilize Sinking Foundation
After a home is constructed, changes in the surrounding soil are the primary cause of foundation settlement. Extreme moisture changes, such as drought conditions or oversaturation, along with poorly compacted fill soils, create soil movement. That movement shifts and settles your home, causing cracked walls, uneven floors, and a sinking foundation. Helical Piers prevent the foundation from settling further - stabilizing it.
Helical Piers Transfer Weight to Load Bearing Soil
Steel piers are mechanically "screwed" into the soil using small construction equipment. The piers are installed to appropriate depths and capacities, and a steel foundation bracket is connected to the helical piers and attached to your foundation's footing. The weight of your home is then transferred from the original, unstable soils, through the piers, to the competent soil or bedrock.
Helical Piers Will Provide Permanent Support
Helical Piers permanently stabilize your home's foundation and in many cases can lift your home back to level.
Helical Piers will Be Buried Out of Sight
Helical Piers provide a below-grade solution that is concealed from sight. This prevents the creation of an eyesore around the perimeter of your home.
