Helical Piers
A home is only as secure as its foundation. If your foundation is sinking or shifting, it’s crucial to take corrective measures quickly.
Helical piers provide a permanent solution for supporting weak foundations and eliminating future damage. Helical piers serve as a formidable option to regain structural integrity and stop future damage.
At Foundation Recovery Systems, we specialize in high-quality foundation repair, which includes the expert installation of helical piers. Our client-centric approach is our signature trait.
Read on to discover the lasting impact helical piers can have on your home’s foundation stability.
What Are Helical Piers?
Helical piers, sometimes termed helical piles or screw anchors, function as below-ground support systems. They divert a structure’s load from weak soil strata to more stable ground or bedrock below. These piers not only stabilize but may also lift a sinking foundation.
Made of heavy-duty steel, the shafts are equipped with helical flights resembling large screws, so piers can penetrate deep into the soil. This ensures exceptional load-bearing capacity.
Helical piers are a fundamental element in a home improvement plan, often accompanied by other essential services like waterproofing your basement or encapsulating crawl spaces.
Backed by innovative technology, helical piers deliver a support system designed to fortify your foundation for years to come.
