How Will Helical Pier Systems Affect My Landscape?

The only thing worse than having your foundation falling or settling is also having your landscape torn apart. Many of the products that are used to repair foundations require the entire yard to be ripped up or damaged so piers can be installed. Of course, any homeowner will want their repairs to be effective but also non-invasive. Luckily, the helical pier system aims to fulfill both needs.  

• Helical Pier Systems Take Up Limited Space

The helical pier system needs very little space to be installed. In some cases, this may be no larger than a closet. A good foundation expert will be considerate of your home and its surrounding areas. With that in mind, our system is designed to be minimally disruptive, all without sacrificing the efficiency of the piers.

When installed outdoors, the pier head is screwed directly into the soil without removing any of the topsoil. Inside, the only preparation needed is to remove the concrete layer of the foundation. This provides access to the earth beneath but can be easily replaced. Once the piers are correctly anchored, a foundation expert can neatly repair any traces left behind.

• Helical Piers Drill Down Directly Or At An Angle

Of course, every home has its own aesthetic, design, and limitations. A helical pier system is respectful of that. A professional can evaluate if your foundation, basement, or soil should have the piers drilled straight down or at an angle. Rather than making your home conform to the piers, they conform to your needs. This is done without sacrificing the structural integrity or strength of the system.

This type of system is not only a quick install but can also restore the value of your property. Sinking and settling foundations can make a home difficult to sell. An intrusive anchor system may detract from the home’s overall value. With helical piers, you can regain the home’s structural integrity while also keeping the repairs from being an eyesore.
