How Do Helical Piers Stabilize a Foundation?

Helical piers use steel shafts with circular plates that are rotated deep into the ground until they reach stable, load-bearing soil. Once installed, the piers are connected to the foundation footing with heavy-duty brackets. This transfers the structure’s weight away from weaker surface soils and helps prevent further settlement.

The process generally includes:

Evaluating the foundation and planning pier placement.
Exposing the footing at each installation point.
Installing the pier shafts to the required depth.
Attaching the brackets and stabilizing the foundation.

What to Expect During Helical Pier Installation in Knoxville

DFX begins by determining where each pier should be placed based on the settlement pattern and structural needs of your home. Our team excavates only the areas needed to access the foundation footing, installs each pier while monitoring its progress, and connects the system to the foundation with durable brackets. Once the work is complete, we restore the installation areas as closely as possible. The project scope and timeline will depend on factors such as access, soil conditions, foundation design, and the number of piers required.

Helical Pier Installation FAQs

What Are Helical Piers?

Helical piers are steel foundation supports with circular plates that are rotated deep into the ground until they reach stable, load-bearing soil. Brackets connect the piers to the foundation, allowing them to support the structure and help prevent further settlement.

How Do I Know If My Home Needs Helical Piers?

Signs may include stair-step cracks, uneven floors, sticking doors or windows, gaps around frames, and sinking foundation sections. However, these symptoms can have different causes. A professional foundation evaluation is needed to determine whether helical piers are the right solution.

What Is the Difference Between Helical Piers and Push Piers?

Helical piers are rotated into the soil using their circular plates, while push piers are driven into the ground using the weight of the structure. Each system may be better suited to different foundations, loads, and soil conditions. DFX will evaluate your property and recommend the appropriate repair method.

Can Helical Piers Lift a Settled Foundation?

The primary purpose of helical piers is to stabilize the foundation and help prevent further settlement. In some cases, controlled lifting may be possible. Whether a foundation can be lifted depends on its condition, the extent of the settlement, and other structural factors.
