Wall Cracking is a Sign of Foundation Settlement
After a home is constructed, changes in the surrounding soil are the primary cause of foundation settlement. Extreme moisture changes, such as drought conditions or oversaturation, along with poorly compacted fill soils, create soil movement. That movement shifts and settles your home, causing cracked walls, uneven floors, and a sinking foundation.
Piers Installed Side-by-Side
When the Helical Pier System is installed, the weight of the home is transferred from the original, unstable soils, through the piers, to the competent soil or bedrock.
This Helical Pier is Nearly Ready
This Helical Pier has been aligned with the home's foundation, but still needs to be mechanically "screwed" into the soil. It will be installed to an appropriate depth and connected to the foundation's footing.
Helical Pier Placed Beneath Foundation
This Helical Pier has finally been completely installed. It will now help (along with the other piers) to stabilize the home's foundation and will prevent further settling.
