Helical Piers
Helical piers are drilled deep into stable soil, keeping everything secure from the start.
If you’re building a new home or business, the last thing you want to worry about is your foundation shifting or sinking over time. That’s where helical piers come in. These smart little tools are designed to keep your foundation rock-solid, even when the soil beneath your structure isn’t. Unlike concrete, which can settle and crack, helical piers are drilled deep into stable soil, keeping everything secure from the start.
Whether you need to support your structure against downward pressure (compression) or upward force (tension), helical piers can handle it. Their impressive load-bearing capacity means they’ll give your foundation the support it needs to stand strong for years to come. For new construction, installing helical piers from the start is a smart way to prevent future foundation issues altogether.
How Does It Work?
We determine how much weight each helical pier can support based on the installation torque—basically, how much force is used to install them deep into the ground. The exact load capacity can vary depending on the soil conditions and the size of the pier shaft, but we always ensure they’re perfectly matched to your project’s needs. In some cases, load testing is done to get the most accurate values.
Your builder, engineer, or contractor will decide where the piers go based on the load of your structure and the strength of the soil. That way, your foundation gets the customized support it deserves!
