Photo Album: Helical Piers to resolve foundation problems in Fairfield, OH

A Fairfield homeowner was having problems with cracks and settling in a basement wall.  He met with Chris, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that a Helical Pier System is installed.   Helical Piers are used to permanently stabilize the foundation and in many cases, can lift the home back to level.  Steel Piers are mechanically screwed into the soil until it reaches competent soil or bedrock.  A bracket is attached to the pier and secured to the foundation's footing.  The weight of your home is transferred to the piers and is immediately protected against further movement.   The foundation is now stable there will be no further movement of the foundation.
