The signs of foundational settlement were quite apparent via the large cracks along the exterior of this home's foundation walls. It was clear that this home was sinking due to the large gaps between the exterior bricks.
Our Foundation Supportworks helical piers features a true helix plate that allows for a strong accuracy in torque-to-capacity reading. This allows the installer to know exactly when a pier has been driven deep enough. With other brands, the installer is likely to stop too soon due to inaccurate torque reading.
Helical piers are "screwed" into the soil instead of being driven into the soil by the weight of the home itself. This makes this solution ideal for lighter structures.
After installation is complete, the holes are refilled and the area is cleaned up. This home's foundation is now permanently stabilized!
