Photo Album: Commercial Building Foundation Repair in Lewis Center, OH

This business owner in Lewis Center, OH noticed large cracks in the outside of their building. They immediately decided to take a closer to look so see if there were any other damages that needed repaired. The then found very large cracks in the floor of their building that have been hidden under carpet. They called us at Mid-State Basement Systems for help. Our crew installed 112 Helical Piles to stabilize the building's foundation.    Helical piles are a factory-manufactured steel foundation system consisting of a central shaft with one or more helix-shaped bearing plates, commonly referred to as blades or flights, welded to the lead section. Extension shafts, with or without additional helix blades, are used to extend the pile to competent load-bearing soils and to achieve design depth and capacity. Brackets are used at the tops of the piles for attachment to structures, either for new construction or retrofit applications. Helical piles are advanced (screwed) into the ground with the application of torque.
