Foundation Services Photo Album: Helical Piers used to resolve foundation settling in Cincinnati, OH
A Cincinnati homeowner was noticing the foundation seemed to be settling and was having trouble with doors opening and closing and cracks in the garage walls. The homeowner met with Austin, a Certified Inspector, who recommended the Helical Pier System.
The Helical Pier System is used to permanently stabilize the foundation and can potentially raise the foundation back to the level position. A Helical pier is mechanically screwed into the ground until it reaches competent soil. A bracket is attached to the pier and to the home's foundation footer. The Helical Pier System will immediately stabilize your settling foundation and can potentially lift your foundation back to a level position.
