How Can Helix Piers Help Your Home?

Each year, thousands of homeowners are faced with costly repairs due to foundation problems that could have been avoided by installing the Grip-Tite^® Construction Helix Piers prior to a new construction project. If you have unstable soils beneath your home, these piers can help you restabilize the foundation. They’re best when installed during new construction, but helix piers can also be installed after foundation damage has occurred.

How Do Helix Piers Work?

We have been working on our helix pier technology for over 90 years to provide you with the best product on the market. Essentially, to install this product, a helical plate is attached to a steel pier that is driven into stable soil. Once the correct load capacity has been reached, brackets are attached to the base of the foundation walls that connects the piers and foundation. Weight is then shifted onto the piers.

What Are The Advantages of Helix Piers?

There are many advantages to the helix pier system, including:

• Cost-effective solution – cheaper than replacement
• Fast installation
• No heavy equipment needed
• Can be installed in limited access areas
