Helical Piers
If you need help lifting your home or lighter structures like decks back to their original position, Supportworks helical piers might be the answer you need. These systems are made of steel and include a set of helical blades on the lower section of the pier.
These piers are mechanically advanced into the soil using small construction equipment or hand equipment. As they are installed to appropriate depths and capacities, they prevent any future settlement issues.
In many scenarios, these foundation piers will be able to lift your home back to level position by the completion of the installation.
Our helical pier system is just what you need to stabilize your foundation. Call us at 1-352-796-0229 for a free helical pier installation inspection today! We serve Saint Petersburg, Tampa, Orlando, and many nearby areas in Florida.
Our round shaft helical piers are made of heavy-duty steel and have a high resistance against bending.
A foundation helical pier design that meets ICC (International Code Criteria) standards, with a true helix shape.
Foundations will experience settlement issues when the soils below the house prove unable to support the weight of the structure. Helical pier systems create a solid supporting base that transfers the weight of your home downwards to strong supporting soils.
First, soil is removed from the area where the helical pier will be installed. Helical pier sections are mechanically screwed, or advanced, into the soil.
Once proper depths and capacities are achieved, heavy duty steel foundation brackets are positioned below and against the foundation footing.
The weight of the home is then transferred through the helical piers to deep, competent soils. Lifting the home back towards its original position is attempted. Then, the soil around the foundation is carefully replaced.
A nonconforming blade, with more of a duckbill appearance. This makes it churn up and disturb the soil during installation.
The first section of the pier that is advanced into the ground has one or more helical blades (or bearing plates) welded to the shaft.
Additional helical pier sections do not have bearing plates and are instead used to extend the pier to the necessary installation depth.
Helical piers can be installed from either the exterior or interior of your home, providing an opportunity to lift your home back to its original position by the end of the installation time.
Helical piers can also be effective at closing cracks caused by settlement, and can also potentially improve the operation of doors and windows.
