What Are Helical Piers?

Steel foundation supports driven to stable soil

Helical piers are steel foundation supports that are advanced deep into the ground until they reach stable, load-bearing soil. Once installed, they are attached to the foundation, transferring the weight of the structure from unstable soils to stronger soils below.

At Level Up Foundation Repair, we install professionally engineered helical pier systems to permanently stabilize foundations and help prevent further settlement. Every home is different, which is why we start with a thorough inspection to determine the true cause of the problem.

The Engineering Helical piers are screw-style steel piers that thread deep into the ground until they reach stable load-bearing soil — bypassing the unstable clay layers that cause settlement.
