Photo Album: Lawrenceburg Home Permanently Stabilizes Foundation with Helical Piers
After a home is built, the soil below the foundation can compress under its weight. Dry conditions cause the soil to shrink, while too much rain causes it to soften or wash out completely. This movement of the soil, from right underneath the foundation to deep below the surface, results in cracked walls, doors and windows that stick, uneven floors, and a settling home. The Helical Pier System from Supportworks will permanently stabilize a home's foundation and, in many cases, raise it back up. This Lawrenceburg home has 10 Helical Piers installed around the perimeter of their home in order to permanently stabilize their foundation.
Helical Piers Won't Add Weight to the Unstable Soils or Crack Under Pressure
True helix bearing plates disturb less soil while reaching greater depths than other options. They are suitable for both heavy and light loads and address the root cause of foundation settlement.
Helical Piers Buried Out of Sight
Helical Piers are a below-grade solution that are concealed from sight. That means no visible, ugly eyesores.
