Professional Helical Pier Installation & Foundation Repair
Permanent Foundation Stabilization Across Central and Southwest Virginia
Does your home show signs of foundation settlement? Cracked walls, uneven floors, and sticking doors can all indicate a problem with your foundation. At Level Up Foundation Repair, we specialize in helical pier installation, a heavy-duty, proven method to stop that and lift your sinking foundation back toward its original position.
What are helical piers? Helical piers are steel shafts with corkscrew plates that are driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil. These piers act like massive “screws” that anchor your foundation to solid ground, preventing further settlement and, in many cases, lifting the foundation back to its original position. This process helps restore the structural integrity of your home and prevents further damage.
From Lynchburg and Roanoke to Charlottesville, Danville, and Farmville, we’ve spent over 50 years of combined experience helping homeowners in Central and Southwest Virginia deal with the soil challenges of our region. Whether you’re right in town or in one of our surrounding communities, our crew handles the entire process for you, keeping you informed from the first inspection until the job is done.

Stop Foundation Sinking for Good With Level Up Helical Pier Repair
Most homes we repair in Lynchburg need helical piers because the soil underneath has already shifted. By the time homeowners call us, they’re dealing with sticking doors, stair-step cracks, or a foundation that’s still moving year after year.
Our crews are experienced in installing these systems in local soil conditions, and we take the time to install them correctly, the first time. We use heavy-duty, engineered piers designed to reach stable load-bearing soil, so once your home is lifted and stabilized, it’s a long term solution.
When you choose Level Up Foundation Repair for your helical pier installation, you can expect:
Expert Assessment: We inspect the foundation in person, measure the settlement, and explain what’s moving and why. If helical piers aren’t the right solution, we’ll tell you that upfront.
Customized Solutions: Every pier layout is based on your house, not a standard template. We place and install each pier where it will do the most good for the sinking foundation.
Quality Workmanship: Done right, the fi rst time. We follow proper load ratings, torque requirements, and installation standards so the repair holds long-term.
Minimal Disruption: We strive to minimize disruption to your property during the installation process. We keep the job site tidy and avoid unnecessary digging or damage while working at your property.
Long-lasting Results: We aim to provide a permanent solution for your settling foundation. Once the piers are installed and the load is transferred to stable soil, the foundation is stabilized for long-term hold.
Helical Pier Foundation Repair FAQs
Why is my house sinking? Is it the Virginia red clay?
Most likely, yes. Virginia’s red clay soil expands when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries out. Over time, this movement creates stair-step cracks, sinking corners, and floors that don’t feel level anymore.
Can a sinking foundation be fixed permanently, or not?
Yes, sinking foundations can be fixed permanently if it’s done the correct way. Helical piers work because they’re installed below the problem soil, down to solid load-bearing soil or bedrock, and transfer the weight of the house to something that doesn’t move. Once that load is supported properly, the sinking stops.
Our house foundation is sinking. Will my doors and windows ever close properly again?
After helical pier foundation repair, most of the time, doors and windows close properly again. That is because, once the house is closer to its original position, doors, windows, and trim lines are back up too. Although every house is different, we’re often able to improve those issues.
Does homeowners’ insurance cover foundation repair in Virginia?
Most policies consider foundation settlement to be earth movement or a maintenance issue, which isn’t covered. That’s why we remind you to address the problem early. Helical pier installation before the damage spreads is almost always more affordable than dealing with major structural repairs later.
