How do Helical Piers work? Helcial Piers are steel screws that are strategically placed around the foundation of your home. Then, with hydraulics, they are drilled deep into the soil to bypass any unstable soil and get to the stable strata beneath. Once stable soil has been found, a bracket is mounted on top of the pier and the lifting process begins. When the proper amount of lift has been achieved, the hydraulics are removed.

Due to the settlement the brick was in such poor condition the homeowner had it removed prior to us making the repair to the foundation. The basement walls had large cracks due to the settlement and started to deflect inward 2.5”.
This is difficult to fully show the extend in just an image, but we were able to lift the house the full 4” and move the walls back to plumb. The customer couldn’t be happier and said he would refer us to all of the investors he works with.
