Small excavation needed

One of the best things about the helical pier system that DryZone offers is that we don't need to excavate the entire house. This is much less expensive then some other options for repair. Most of the time the crew will use hand held shovels to dig a trench down to the base of the wall. Also in this picture are the holes drilled into the footer. A footer is the base of the wall. It is wider and thicker then the wall to provide support. In order to get a clean section off, we drill holes and then chip away at that section. This makes a nice pocket for our strong steel bracket to attach directly under the wall.
