Foundation Repair Photo Album: Helical Piers for Lifting a Foundation in Dover, NC

Helical piers are a permeant solution for stabilizing a home’s settling foundation.   Steel piers are screwed deep into the soil. A steel L-shaped bracket is secured to the pier and positioned directly under the foundation footing. A hydraulic jack is placed on the brackets and lifts the foundation out of the settled soil to a level position. Then the bolts are tightened, the jacks are removed, and the dug-up soil is backfilled.
