Free, no-obligation inspection from a vetted local foundation specialist.
Steel screw-piles driven to load-bearing strata for the strongest possible underpinning.Drop your ZIP and we'll match you with one vetted local specialist for a free inspection — typically within 24 hours. We make the introduction. They handle the work. No spam calls, no five-way bidding war.
Scope of work
Helical piers are steel shafts with welded helical plates, hydraulically rotated into the ground until they reach load-bearing soil or bedrock. They're ideal for lighter loads, additions, soft or expansive clay soils, and locations where push piers can't generate enough reaction load.
The matched specialist will give you a written scope and estimate after the free inspection.
Where you are
Pick your metro to see the local soil, climate, and cost context your matched contractor will work with.
Local cost typically $1,500 – $3,000. Most common cause: summer drought shrinking clay away from the slab perimeter.
Local cost typically $1,600 – $3,200. Most common cause: hurricane and flood saturation followed by rapid drying.
Local cost typically $1,700 – $3,400. Most common cause: bentonite swelling beneath slabs and basement floors (heave, not settlement).

Warning signs
If two or more of these appear in your home, it's worth scheduling a free inspection. Early repairs cost a fraction of late ones.
Settlement on a lighter structure (porch, addition, garage)
Soft or unstable clay/fill where push piers can't anchor
Need for new construction underpinning before slab pour
FAQ
Helical piers shine on lighter loads and unstable soils because they get capacity from the helix plates and torque, not the building's weight. Push piers shine on heavier homes with reachable bedrock.
Anywhere from 10 to 50+ feet, depending on soil strength. They're driven until measured torque hits the engineered load capacity.
Yes — galvanized steel piers driven to load-bearing strata are a permanent structural support and come with lifetime warranties.
