The primary cause of foundation settlement after a home is soil changes around it. In addition to poorly compacted fill soils, extreme moisture changes, such as droughts and over saturation, can cause soil movement. As a result, your home shifts and settles, causing cracked walls, uneven floors, and sinking foundations. Helical piers were installed to permanently stabilize and lift the sunken foundation of the home.
A foundation settlement issue led to vertical cracks in the home's interior and exterior foundation walls. An effective solution is to install foundation piers. You can brace your foundation helical piers, which are heavy-duty anchors that screw into your walls and floors. These big screws hold your foundation in place and provide counter-pressure against the soil.
Piers can solve settlement problems by transferring a structure's weight to strong, competent supporting soils at greater depth. Piers can effectively stabilize a settling structure and can even provide jacking points to lift the structure upwards to its original, level position.
