Foundation Repair Photo Album: Permanent Foundation Stabilization in Chocowinity, NC

One homeowner in Chocowinity, NC was concerned about their foundation sinking after noticing their floors sagging and exterior cracks. An expert from our System Design Team assessed the situation and provided a permanent solution to fix the problem. In order to ensure the house was on solid ground, our crew installed foundation piers for permanent stabilization of the foundation. The piers were drilled deep into the soil and connected to the foundation walls. The piers provided the necessary support to stabilize the foundation and prevent any further sinking. The homeowner was very pleased with the result and their home is now safe and secure.

Foundation Pier Installed

A specialized drill is used to bore a hole into the ground. The helical pier is then inserted into the hole and rotated until it becomes firmly embedded in the soil. Once the pier is in place, it is used to support the foundation

Foundation Pier Installation

Like push piers, helical piers are designed to transfer the weight of your home to load-bearing soil or bedrock, permanently stabilizing your home's foundation. Instead of being driven into the soil by the weight of the home itself, however, helical piers are "screwed" into the soil using a piece of mechanical equipment.

After Installation

After the pier is installed, soil is used to backfill the area, leaving a level landscape.
