Commercial Foundations Photo Album: Home in Troy, Ohio Stabilizes Foundation with Helical Piers

The helical pier system from Supportworks will permanently stabilize a home's foundation and, in many cases, raise it back up. As a home's foundation sits on incompetent soils, it may start to sink. The Helical Pier system transfers the weight of the home from incompetent soils to bedrock and load-bearing soils.

Helical Piers Permanently Stabilize Foundation

Engineered sttel piers are "screwed" into the soil next to the foundation. Sections are added to reach appropriate depths and capacities, and the pier is then connected to the home's foundation with steel brackets.
