WHAT IS A HELICAL PIER?
Helical piers are a type of foundation repair solution that consists of steel shafts with helical plates attached to them. The helical plates act like screws that dig into the ground and anchor the piers to a stable soil layer. The piers are then connected to the foundation with brackets and bolts, creating a strong and durable support system.
Helical piers are also known as helical piles, screw piles, or torque anchors. They have been used for over 150 years for various applications, such as bridges, lighthouses, railroads, and pipelines. Today, they are widely used for residential and commercial foundation repair, as well as for new construction projects.
Helical piers can be used to lift, level, and stabilize foundations that have settled or shifted due to soil movement, erosion, or other factors. They can also be used to increase the load-bearing capacity of foundations that are under stress from additional weight or structural changes.
