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.
