What are Helical Piers?

Helical piers, also known as screw piles, or screw piers, are foundation support systems that support your house’s structure. Helical piers transfer the weight of your home to stable soil or bedrock, resulting in a more stable foundation. Helical piers are screwed into the ground, whereas push piers are driven into the ground by using hydraulic jacks. Helical piers can be installed faster and are well known for their great efficiency.

Does Your Home Require Helical Pier Installation?

Your home may need helical piers if the foundation is settling into the ground unevenly.  Here are some of the indications that you may need foundation repair in Manhattan.

  • Uneven Floors: If your house’s floors are sagging, sloping, or have an uneven surface, you should consider installing helical piers. Otherwise, unevenness may increase and lead to serious foundation problems such as shifting, bending, or settling of the foundation.
  • Foundation Crack: If the cracks in your foundation are wider than ¼ inch, experts may recommend installing helical piers. If cracks continue to grow, they will allow water damage and may cause more extensive damage.
  • Tilting Walls: Walls bowing inward or outward indicate foundation instability. To prevent further structural damage, helical piers must be installed.
  • Crooked Windows or Doors: If your windows or doors are sticking or not closing properly, it may be because your foundation is shifting. Call experts to inspect your foundation and determine the cause of any issues.

If you notice any of these signs, please schedule an appointment with us. We will inspect your foundation and install your helical piers effectively.

How do Helical Piers Work?

Helical piers are a foundation support system that works by transferring the weight of your home from unstable soil to stable soil. This process evenly transfers and supports the load of the foundation, preventing foundation settlement and sinking. The helical piers are usually leveraged to a depth of 20 feet depending upon the soil, which provides amazing stability and load-bearing capacity. We screw the piers into the ground, providing reliable foundation solutions for commercial projects and residential buildings.

Benefits of Helical Piers Installation

Helical piers stabilize your house’s foundation and raise it back to its ideal position. They increase the load-bearing capacity of the foundation and overall structure. The convenience and efficiency of helical pier installation make it one of the most popular foundation solutions.

1. Protects Foundations in Wet Climates

Helical piers are installed deep into stable soil, which provides a secure foundation. They prevent the foundation from shifting and settling due to moisture, unstable soil, drainage issues, earthquakes, floods, heavy rainfall, or poor construction.

2. Provides Support to the Foundation

With the installation of helical piers, we distribute the structure’s weight evenly across stable soil. This supports your foundation and prevents it from cracking, settling, and sinking. It provides support in areas with high moisture content in the soil or poor soil quality.

3. Helps with Basement Waterproofing

The installation of helical piers provides structural support and prevents soil movement from damaging your foundation and basement. This prevents cracks and gaps from forming that could lead to water damage.

4. Heavy Load Bearing

When we install helical piers, the weight of your house structure is evenly transferred into a stable soil layer. Due to their heavy load-bearing capacity, helical piers can support buildings of almost any size.

Our Helical Pier Installation Process in Manhattan

We inspect your foundation using advanced tools and technologies. Then, we provide helical pier installation services customized to support your home.  Our step-by-step process includes the following:

Step 1: Inspect the Soil

Our team inspects your home, paying attention to factors like construction, soil types, and the condition of your foundation. Then, we provide you with a FREE estimate.

Step 2: Prep Work for Helical Piers

We determine the size, number, and placement of the helical piers depending on the type of soil beneath your house. We excavate holes, usually 6 feet apart, for the installation.

Step 3: Installation of Helical Piers

After completing the prep work, we move forward with helical pier installation. We use equipment such as a hydraulic drive motor to screw the helical piers into the ground. Our team ensures the piers have the right load-bearing capacity after the installation.

Step 4: Lifting and Stabilization of the Foundation

We apply hydraulic pressure to lift the foundation to restore structural integrity. Our team monitors the process throughout to ensure the stability of your home.  Schedule an appointment for a comprehensive helical pier installation process!

Everything was clearly and fully explained before they started the work.Updates were given through out the day.

Totally recommend the team at Lamunyon that gave us exceptional service from the time we picked up the phone and the experience of Cody with the estimate, all through seeing the job done to our satisfaction!Betty L.Betty L. ★★★★★ Stan and I are completely satisfied with the services provided by Lamunyon. We had a broken main water pipe which caused water deep enough to cause waves from wall to wall across a large part of our basement. We called Lamunyon and are extremely happy with the way Jeremiah and his team came in and immediately assessed the damage and handled the restoration process. He was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what was needed and kept us informed throughout the entire process. If we ever have a situation like this again, we will definitely call Lamunyon and request Jeremiah. We recommend Lamunyon to anyone who has a need for water restoration.Martin T.Martin T. ★★★★★ Professional, friendly and timely service. Came out and cleaned up mess even staying late. Lance and Tim were great to work with.Rachel M.Rachel M. ★★★★★ We had some settling along the front wall of our house to the point where we saw cracks in the wall and our front door wasn't operational. Lamunyon was then recommended to come in and stabilize the house so it wouldn't sink anymore. They quoted us needing 8 helical piers up to 20 feet deep to help stabilize the stem wall that was holding up our slab house. Unfortunately due to the type of soil under my house, we had to go deeper than 20 feet on them all so we had some overages. The cost for those overages was laid out ahead of time by Cody, who did the bid, and again reconfirmed by Matt before he started working. Everyone I worked with was fantastic and answered all of my questions. Starting from the initial call into the office to set up a bid, to Cody coming out to see what was going on as well as explaining his process for how he got to the bid numbers and last but not least the work that Matt, Jeff, Jonah and David all did to get the piers in place and fill in the hole. These were all a great experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone that is having foundation issues!! They also quoted us for three days work and that is what it took even though they had more work than they originally planned for due to the soil being a little more sandy and loose. Once again thank you for the work you did! It is one of those things that I would hope I never need to have done again but at least I know who my first call will be to!Charlene H.Charlene H. ★★★★★ Very prompt and did a professional job. This is the 2nd time they have worked for us and both times. did a fantastic job.Derrek J.Derrek J. ★★★★★ Recently, we faced the challenging situation of significant water damage to our business property.

Their efficiency and meticulous care throughout the process were impressive, ensuring that our business remained safe to operate.

He and the Lamuyon team wholeheartedly care for those they serve.Thank you for your outstanding support. What could have been a stressful ordeal was managed with remarkable ease and professionalism. I highly recommend Dustin and Lamuyon to anyone needing reliable and trustworthy mitigation services.Mandy K.Mandy K. ★★★★★ Knowledgeable, respectful, and easy to work with!Laura “Lauramarie” C.Laura “Lauramarie” C. ★★★★★ Cody came out to the house to give my husband and I an estimate. He advised that it would take a few weeks for scheduling which was fine. During the consultation Cody was thorough with the process and the time it would take to fix the leak. On the day of service Matt and Jesse did a great job, explained what would take place and got to work immediately. Once the job was done Matt explained everything that he and Jesse did and explained it a second time when my husband was on the phone. They left the area clean and clear, they were both really polite and informative of the service provided. Truly appreciate Lamunyon and their services 10/10 highly recommend!!!Stu D.Stu D. ★★★★★ Smooth process from start to finish, and these guys truly respect your property.

From Cody inspecting, preparing the bid, and explaining the process in detail to Matt completing the job. Anytime I reached out to Cody, he not only replied to my email, but also called me. When the work was performed, Matt was very professional and once again explained everything in detail. Even when a change order occurred, Matt reached out right away to inform me of why there was a change and the price difference. Matt and his team member went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and the job would be completed on time.Linda M.Linda M. ★★★★★ Everyone I interacted with, from Cody (Estimator/quoter), Scheduling, and the workers, were all very honest and reliable with their information and work. I especially appreciated being told what work really needed to be done vs selling all the bells and whistles we couldn’t afford. The workers have a good sense of humor and work hard for their earnings (ethics that can be harder to find these days). They did an excellent job of protecting our property and cleaning up after each phase of work. God bless you all, we feel much safer in our home now.Herschel B.Herschel B. ★★★★★ I would like to pass on that I had a leak in my basement floor and it caused water damage to my carpet and we had to move my daughter out of the room. Trying to figure out who to call was a nightmare. I finally made a great decision with Lamunyon dry out & foundation repair. I want to thank David Balfour because he made a very frustrating issue into a very simple process and life time worry free from water ever coming into my basement again.

He was thorough with explaining the process. The install crew- Drew, Kaleb, and Paul, did an outstanding job with installing a drain tile, waler beams, and anchors in my basement. They worked hard all week and in incredibly hot weather. Very courtesy and professional guys. Drew, the foreman, was meticulous and made sure they cleaned up every day. Couldn't have asked for a better group of guys. Thanks!Rod E.Rod E. ★★★★★ Very good crew; easy to work with, clearly explained the process, cleaned up when done. I would hire them again, though I hope I don’t need to.Marilyn B.Marilyn B. ★★★★★ The work was very well done. I was referred by a local rug dealer who helped me call Lamonyan. That was at about 5 PM in the evening. They arrived at about 7:30 PM and stayed till almost 10 o'clock cleaning up as much as they could. The workers were great. They fully understood my concern and depression about the entire situation. This company goes the extra mile to clean up the situation and help you understand why it is necessary to do the things they do. Hope this never happens to me again. If it should, they would be the first company I would call Marilyn Braun, Victoria, Kansasjs_loader
