Helical Pier Installation in Woodbury, NJ

Monday, April 21st, 2025 by Makayla Pratta

Challenge

A homeowner in Woodbury, NJ, encountered a serious issue with their home's foundation: visible signs of settling that raised concerns about long-term structural stability. Unsure of the cause or the extent of the damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional assessment. Recognizing the urgency, a member of our Sales Team quickly scheduled a comprehensive home inspection. Our experienced specialist arrived on-site and performed a thorough evaluation, ultimately determining that the foundation required immediate stabilization to prevent further structural damage and protect the home’s integrity.

Solution

To address the issue, our team recommended the installation of Helical Piers: engineered steel supports designed to stabilize settling foundations by anchoring them to competent load-bearing soil. Under the guidance of a seasoned foreman, our production team executed a systematic and efficient installation. Each Helical Pier was precisely “screwed” into the ground adjacent to the foundation, bypassing weak soil layers and securely transferring the home’s weight to stronger strata below.

Throughout the project, our crew remained focused on minimizing disruption to the homeowner's daily life, maintaining a clean and respectful workspace at all times. By the time the job was complete, the home’s foundation had been effectively stabilized, and the risk of future settling was eliminated. This solution not only restored peace of mind for the homeowner but also preserved the long-term value and safety of the property.

At Quality 1st Basement Systems, we take pride in delivering solutions that are both technically sound and homeowner-focused—and this project in Woodbury was no exception.
