What are Helical Piers?
Helical piers are another type of steel piering system. The first section that is advanced into the ground has one or more helix shaped blades welded to the shaft. Additionally extensions then used to extend the pier to the necessary depth.
What do they do?
Helical piers can be installed from the exterior or the interior of our home and provide an opportunity to lift you home back toward its original positions. They can also be used
How do they work?
First, soil is removed from the area where the helical pier will be installed, and then secretion are advanced into the soil. Once the proper depths and capacities are achieved, heavy-duty foundation brackets are positions below the footing. The weight of the home is then transferred through the helical pier to deep competent soils. Lifting the home back toward its original position is attempted, and the soil around the installation is replaced.
