Helical piers stabilize failing foundations by being driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil. They then transfer the weight of the structure from the unstable soil to the stable soil or bedrock below, providing additional support and preventing further settlement or movement of the foundation.
This brick home in Jacksonville, NC was experiencing foundation settlement, threatening the long-term stability of the structure. Our team installed a series of heavy-duty Helical Piers to transfer the load of the home to more stable soil below ensuring long-lasting support and protection. After installation, we backfilled the area and left the yard clean and level. A solid solution for a home built to stand the test of time!
We permanently stabilized this home's sagging floors by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. These fully-adjustable steel piers stop settlement in its tracks and may even lift the floors all the way back to their original position.
We cleaned up this crawl space, removed all of the fallen fiberglass insulation, and permanently stabilized the sagging floors by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams.
These photos show the installation of helical piers to stabilize the foundation of a Jacksonville home. The first image highlights the excavation and preparation work near the patio, while the second image shows a helical pier bracket securely installed beneath the foundation column. Helical piers provide a long-term solution for settling foundations by transferring the structural load to stable soil layers deep below the surface, ensuring lasting stability and protection against further settlement issues.
