Photo Album: Helical Pier Installation in Hampton, FL
This car port was experiencing foundational settlement that was visible via a large crack in the concrete around the base of a support column. We were able to permanently stabilize the foundation by installing helical piers to transfer the weight of the car port to sturdy soils and raising the concrete area back to its original position.
Foundational Settlement
Overtime, soils will weaken and shift from moisture, causing the structure on top of them to shift and settle as well. That is exactly what has happened here causing the large crack in this car port's concrete floor.
Helical Piers
These piers are designed to transfer the weight of the structure on top to load bearing soil to permanently stabilize the foundation. In most cases, helical piers may also raise a structure back to its original position as well.
Job Complete
After the piers are installed, the holes are refilled and the job site is cleaned up. This car port's foundation is stabilized for decades to come now!
