Helical Piers
If your home is starting to experience a settling foundation, the team at Basement Technologies of WNY Inc. is here for you! Basement Technologies of WNY Inc. is proud to offer the Grip-Tite® Helical Pier system. Helical Piers are a deep foundation solution that are used to repair existing foundations, or secure new foundations. Helical piers are torqued down to bedrock or strong stable soils using large, galvanized mechanical screws to support settling and/or moving foundations. During installation, your home’s foundation can be lifted back to its original position! These can be used both residentially, as well as commercially. Addressing your settling foundation from underneath is the only way to guarantee it will not move any more.
The best, and only home stabilization method to help a settling foundation is the Grip-Tite® Helical Pier system. Once installed, helical piers allow the weight of your home or other property to transfer from unstable ground to load-bearing piers; thus, making helical piers the most effective home stabilization option.
Benefits of Helical Piers
Aside from being the most reliable solution for foundation stabilization, one of the biggest benefits of installing a helical pier system to your property is that they guarantee that your home will rest on deep, stable soil or bedrock. Helical piers are also more cost efficient compared to wall rebuilds, as wall rebuilds will have no effect on the unstable soil located deep underneath the Earth’s surface. The best thing about helical piers? They offer you a permanent and guaranteed solution to your home’s settling foundation problem! This settling foundation repair can be installed year-round, within a few days.
