Steel screws that carry the house.
Helical piers are steel shafts with screw blades driven deep into stable soil, then connected to your foundation to stop settling and lift it back toward level.
- Installation: Hours per pier with a drive head
- Depth: Until torque shows stable soil
- Load: Carried by the steel, not the soil near the surface
What it is, and why it matters.
A helical pier looks like a giant screw. A hydraulic drive head rotates it into the ground until the blades reach soil that can carry the load, and the torque readout tells us when it has. A bracket then connects the pier to the footing.
Because they install quietly with small equipment, helical piers suit tight yards, finished basements and homes with limited access, and they can be loaded immediately once installed.
Four things done right.
Torque-verified
Installation torque shows the pier is carrying load.
Low vibration
Small equipment and quiet installation.
Immediate load
No curing time, so work moves quickly.
Adjustable
Brackets lift and level the structure.

Helical Pier Installation: common questions
How deep do helical piers go?
They go as deep as needed to reach soil that can carry the load, which can be a few feet in some places and much deeper in soft ground. Installation torque is the guide.
Helical piers or push piers?
Helical piers are screwed in and verified by torque and suit lighter structures and soft soils, while push piers use the house's weight and suit heavier structures and a firm layer. We explain which fits your site.
