Helical Piers

HELICAL PIERING SYSTEM Repairing unique soil and structural issues in Atlanta, GA.

THE PROBLEM A small crack in your home’s foundation if left untreated could potentially turn into a big problem. Foundation piering addresses soil issues that the foundation of your home rests on. Often a foundation has been built on soil that is too weak to support the structure, or on clay dirt, which has shrinkage and swelling properties that may lead to foundation cracks. PRODUCTS FOR REPAIR Foundation piering may not be the cheapest solution, but it’s a much more permanent one. Helical piers are a step above the rest when it comes to tools for foundation stabilization. Piers are “proofed” as it is driven using pressure reading and a mathematical formula we know how much the pier will hold, there is no cure time and is quick with a minimally disruptive installation. THE PROCESS Essentially, during the process of foundation piering a certain number of galvanized steel piers, as determined by a qualified designer, are screwed in the weak soil until tougher, stronger ground is reached. The pier is then secured to the house, and the homeowner or property manager can decide at that point if further action should be taken to level the house.
