Photo Album: Helical Piers in Galloway, OH

This home in Galloway, OH was in some need of some serious help. They noticed cracks in their foundation, as well as inside their home. Our crew installed 13 helical piers around the perimeter of the home to stabilize the foundation. A helical pier owes its name to the helical plates welded to the pier shaft. These plates help to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier.
