Stabilize settlement with helical piers
Helical piers are steel shafts with helical plates that are mechanically screwed into stable soil below the zone of seasonal clay movement. They install with relatively little excavation and are well suited to additions, porches, and lighter residential structures common across the DMV.
Common problems we solve
- Settlement beneath an addition, porch, or lighter-load structure
- Expansive clay soil causing seasonal shifting beneath a footing
- A footing that was never founded deep enough for stable soil
- Limited access that makes heavier pier equipment impractical
Benefits of a properly designed solution
Minimal excavation
Helical piers screw into place with a smaller footprint than many deep foundation methods.
Verified load capacity during install
Installation torque is measured in real time to confirm each pier reaches adequate bearing capacity.
Well suited to lighter structures
Ideal for additions, porches, and decks where a full push pier system may be more than necessary.
Immediate load transfer
Structures can typically be stabilized and, where appropriate, lifted shortly after installation.
Our four-step process
- Inspect: Document moisture, drainage, structure, and site conditions.
- Explain: Review findings with photos and straightforward priorities.
- Install: Complete the agreed scope with careful home protection.
- Verify: Test components, clean the work area, and complete a walkthrough.
