After the helical pier is driven into the ground

When the helical piers are installed it looks a lot like a giant screw being driven. The foreman will check his gauges often to see if the resistance on the steel is where it needs to be. What he is trying to accomplish is to reach a soil that will support the home better than the top layer on which the home currently sits. When he is satisfied with the depth and level of resistance, he removes the driver and starts adding the brackets that hold the steel pole to the house.
