Helical Foundations
Helical foundation systems are a combination of steel components designed to resist axial compression, axial tension, and/or lateral loads from commercial and residential structures. The systems consist of a central shaft, one or more helix-shaped bearing plates, and a load transfer bracket and is advanced into the ground via the application of torque.

Frequently Asked Questions
For an existing home, a helical pier installation first requires removing the soil around the foundation to expose the foundation footings. Concrete tools are then used to notch and prepare the footing for the bracket that will connect the helical pier to the foundation. The helical pier is then torqued or “screwed” into the ground until it reaches the required depth and level of resistance. Once all the piers are installed and secured underneath the foundation, the weight of the structure is transferred to the helical piers to stabilize or lift the home.
The answer to that can get a little technical, but the capacity of a helical pier will be directly related to the amount of torque (rotational force) that is used to install it. Installation torque is what is used to measure the strength of soil that is being penetrated by the plates at the tip of the helical pier. A useful analogy to understand this would be to think about using the same type of wood screw to fasten to blocks made of different materials. If you had blocks of Styrofoam, cheddar cheese, pine, and oak, you’d expect the stronger materials would take more effort to fasten the screw to than the weaker materials. You’d also expect the screws that took more effort would be able to hold more load. Helical piles operate in a very similar fashion, and when they are installed with enough torque, they can support tens of thousands of pounds.
Although nothing lasts forever, the service life of a helical pile will likely extend beyond the expected 50-70 year lifespan of your home. Helical piers provide such long-lasting and high-quality support that a reputable foundation repair contractor will offer a 25-year warranty that can be transferred to a future homeowner.
The equipment used to install helical piers such as excavators, hydraulic drive heads, and concrete tools would put it outside the capabilities of the typical do-it-yourselfer.
By far, the answer is yes. The short, blunt, concrete cylinders that are often used in residential foundation repair so often do not achieve the depth needed to perform over time. They are often installed at a lower cost and can sometimes provide temporary improvement to a settled foundation, but since they typically go only a few feet into the ground, they commonly do not penetrate below the layers of soil that created the problem in the first place and symptoms of settlement often return. Helical piers achieve much greater depths and therefore are far more reliable.
Helical piers are a type of steel foundation pier that have one or more helix-shaped blades welded to the lower section of the pier shaft. They are advanced deep into the soil with the application of torque (a twisting force). Helical piers come in a wide range of sizes and are used in both residential and commercial applications. They are used to support new construction when the near-surface soil conditions are known to be unsuitable or inadequate to support the structure. Helical piers can also be used to stabilize or lift existing structures that are showing signs of settlement.

How long does a typical foundation repair project take and how much of my yard will be disturbed? 01
A repair project generally takes less than a day to complete with the proper foundation inspection, trained experts, and the right equipment. Other foundation repairs call for minimal yard disturbance, like wall anchors or pier solutions, which require us to excavate a small surrounding area.
Keep in mind, the more widespread foundation problems are, the larger the repair system required, taking extra time. Once the project is complete, the excavation will be covered as dirt is put back into place and landscaping restored.
