Helical Piers

We understand that foundation settlement can make your home feel unsafe. That’s why we recommend using helical piers to stabilize and repair any structural issues. 

At Mount Valley Foundation Services, we proudly offer SettleStop™ Helical Pier installations for foundation repair. Our top priority is ensuring customer satisfaction while preventing any further damage. 

Helical piers, also known as helical piles or screw piles, are used to transfer the weight of a structure from unstable soil to bedrock or more stable ground. They provide a strong and permanent foundation and can also lift sections of a settling foundation. Helical piers have steel shafts with helical plates that are screwed into the ground, giving them excellent load-bearing capacity. 

These piers are installed using hydraulic equipment and are an important part of a comprehensive home repair strategy, along with basement repair, waterproofing, and crawl space encapsulation. This solution offers long-lasting support, ensuring that your foundation remains stable for many years to come. 

• Permanent Reinforcement: Our helical piers anchor securely to bedrock or denser soil beneath the surface dirt, providing a long-term solution. 
• Prevention of Additional Damage: Our helical piers immediately stabilize foundations, preventing any further damage caused by settling. 
• Potential for Foundation Restoration: Our helical piers can even lift your foundation back into its original position, restoring the structure of your home. 
• Longevity: Our helical piers are built to last and come with a lifetime warranty. 
• Expert Installation: Our certified team ensures top-notch installation, guaranteeing effectiveness. 
• Comprehensive Home Solution: Our helical piers seamlessly integrate with our home repair strategy, offering a complete solution. 

Choose Mount Valley Foundation Services for our exclusive solutions and expert services. Our helical piers provide benefits that generic products simply cannot match. 

SettleStop™ Helical Piers require professional installation. Let me walk you through how our team at Mount Valley Foundation Services handles the process: 

• Site Assessment: Our experts thoroughly inspect your property to identify any foundation issues and determine the optimal locations for pier installation. 
• Exterior Excavation: We carefully dig to expose the foundation footer, ensuring a precise installation. 
• Advance Piers into Soil: Using hydraulic equipment, we drive the piers deep into the soil, paying close attention to the torque measurements for accuracy. 
• Attach Footing Bracket: To secure the piers, we attach a sturdy steel bracket to the footing and cap the pier. This shift in weight helps stabilize the structure. 
• Attempt to Lift the Structure: If needed, we can utilize hydraulic lift equipment to raise any sinking parts of the structure, restoring its integrity. 
• Backfill and Benchmark: Once the installation is complete, we meticulously restore the disturbed areas and remove any debris. As a finishing touch, we place small rivets in the exterior walls as benchmarks.
