Foundation Settlement
Foundation settlement is typically caused by shifting or compressing soil beneath the foundation, often due to moisture changes, erosion, or poor compaction. Over time, soil can expand or contract from heavy rain, drought, or freezing and thawing cycles, leading to uneven settling of the foundation. This can result in cracks, uneven floors, and structural damage if not addressed promptly.
Before Repairs
Our system design specialist conducted a thorough inspection on the home to determine the most effective repair approach.
Installing Helical Piers
Installing helical piers to lift a home involves drilling steel piers into the ground until they reach stable soil or bedrock. The piers are then gradually twisted into place, using their helical design to anchor them securely.
Installing Helical Piers
Once installed, the piers are connected to the foundation, and a hydraulic system is used to lift and level the home, stabilizing the structure and preventing further settling. This process provides a permanent solution to foundation issues, ensuring long-term stability.
The Benefits Of Helical Piers
Using helical piers to lift a home offers a permanent, reliable solution to foundation settlement. These piers provide deep, stable support by anchoring into solid soil or bedrock, preventing further shifting. The process is non-invasive and can be completed quickly, with minimal disruption to the home. Helical piers restore structural stability, ensuring the foundation remains level and secure for years to come.
