Helical Piers in Atlanta, GA
What Problems Helical Piers Correct
Helical piers address foundation settlement from weak, shrinking, or eroded soils. When the soil beneath a home can no longer support the structure, the home sinks unevenly. Helical piers transfer the weight of the foundation to deep, load-bearing strata that provide permanent stability and allow the foundation to be lifted back to its proper elevation.
How Helical Piers Are Installed
Helical piers function by bypassing failing soils and resting on reliable earth layers. Their installation follows a precise and engineered sequence:
1. Excavate small areas along the foundation where piers will be installed.
2. Drive helical shafts deep into stable soil using hydraulic equipment.
3. Attach foundation brackets to securely connect piers to the footing.
4. Transfer the weight of the structure onto the piers.
5. Lift and stabilize, raising the foundation when possible.
What Makes Helical Piers Effective
Helical piers offer lasting security due to their engineering and installation method:
Permanently stop foundation settlement
Allow controlled lifting of the home
Verified load capacity through measured torque
Works for porches, additions, garages, chimneys, and entire homes
Minimal soil disturbance compared to excavation
Long-term stability unaffected by moisture cycles
