Foundation Repair

 Helical piles are the fastest, and strongest way to  correct foundation settling and instability for existing buildings. With minimal disruption to surrounding landscape there is less work required to restore your place to its original beauty. Helical piles are deep foundation systems that are installed by turning them into the ground something like placing a giant screw . There are no percussion or vibratory tools used in the  installation, so the construction is gentle on your home and your neighbor's home too!. They do not use the weight of your house for installation and are therefore not limited in maximum capacity like other products such as push piers. 

When your home’s foundation shows signs of structural stress and cracks,  this is the most serious event that can reduce its value. Homes with  foundation issues see an immediate significant drop in sales value, and  often cannot sell. Most homeowners find it difficult, if not impossible,  to obtain a construction loan on such a structure, because the drop in  value is so steep. The problem only continues with time and what begins  as minor structural damage will become major structural damage with all  the building materials shifting out of place and becoming unable to  support the walls, windows, doors, and roof. Also, most insurance  companies will drop, and not renew the homeowner’s policy when there is  known foundation problems.

We can take your home’s failing  foundation and support, and repair it, to the point that we guarantee it for life. Instead of home-equity credit lines being denied, and construction loans being rejected, the home will be in the elite group of homes with a guaranteed foundation!

When your Geo-Technical Engineer specifies Helical Piles, that  recommendation is based on years of research and testing in your  specific soils and geology profile. They are trained in your geographic  area and have completed profiles in the surrounding areas, gaining  information about Geology that is extremely valuable to your need. They  have utilized the right equipment and techniques, combined with years of  data research in the surrounding areas to ensure the best method for  repairing your home. 

If you are not already working with a Geo-Technical engineer,  we can recommend an engineer familiar with the location of your project. We only recommend 3rd party independent Geo-Technical engineers  who will have no vested interest in a particular product.  This ensures that recommendations will be the best possible products for the repair of your home. The investment is well worth having the top scientific minds on the project to protect your investment in your home.

The Structural Engineer will then take the Geo-Technical engineer’s  recommendation and find the best way to support your home on the helical  piles. This too, is an important science. Your home’s structure will be  evaluated to find how to best locate the piles, so your home is  supported in areas that will make the new foundation the strongest. The  piles will be located in areas best able to transfer the entire weight  of the home to the new deep foundation piles.

The piles we install are a large variety  of cost-effective helical pile products that work for specific soil  types or weather patterns. No two sites are alike, so we install products that are customized to fit your exact need.
