Helical Pier Installation
The helical pier system is carefully installed into the soil below the foundation by the LRE team.
Stabilizing Foundation with Helical Pier System
After all the helical piers have been installed in their proper locations, the LRE team will begin stabilizing the foundation by transferring the weight of the structure to the competent soil below. Following this, they will attempt to lift the foundation back into its proper position.

After successfully stabilizing and lifting the foundation back into its original position, the LRE team replaces the previously removed soil, concealing the piers to achieve a seamless appearance.
