Deep foundation stabilization for lasting structural support
Helical piers are one of the most effective and reliable methods for permanently stabilizing settling foundations. These steel screw-like piles are driven deep into stable load-bearing soil beneath the problematic surface layers. At PiersPro, we use professional torque-monitored installation equipment to guarantee deep anchoring and precise load capacity. Whether you're stabilizing an existing foundation or supporting new construction, helical piers offer a proven, minimally invasive solution.
We evaluate soil conditions, foundation type, and determine optimal pier placement and depth.
Our engineers design the pier layout based on structural loads and soil bearing capacity.
Helical piers are hydraulically driven to stable soil using torque-monitored equipment.
The foundation is carefully lifted (if needed) and loads transferred to the new deep support system.
We provide torque logs, engineering documentation, and warranty for your records.
A helical pier is a steel shaft with one or more helical plates welded at specific intervals. It is hydraulically rotated into the ground like a screw until it reaches stable load-bearing soil. The pier then transfers structural loads from the foundation down to this stable layer.
Helical piers are installed to a depth that achieves the required torque, which correlates to load-bearing capacity. In Southern California, this is typically 15-40 feet depending on soil conditions and load requirements.
Yes. One of the major advantages of helical piers is their compact installation equipment, which can work in crawl spaces, basements, and other confined areas.
Properly installed helical piers are designed to last the lifetime of the structure — 75-100+ years. They are manufactured from high-strength steel with protective coatings to resist corrosion.
