Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Helical Piers are designed to attempt to lift the home back to its original position. It is a solution that causes minimal disturbance and yet is more effective than other solutions. The experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems install the pier system from the exterior or interior of the home. Helical Piers are effective at closing cracks caused by settlement which improves the operation of doors and windows.

First, soil is removed from the area where the Helical Piers will be installed, and then sections are advanced into the soil. Once proper depth is achieved, heavy-duty foundation brackets are positioned below the footing. The weight of the home is then transferred through the Helical Piers to deep, competent soils, lifting the home back to its proper place.
