What Are Helical Piers?
Deep Foundation Repair With Lasting Results
Helical piers—also known as screw piles—are long steel shafts with spiral blades (or “helices”) that are mechanically drilled deep into stable soil or bedrock beneath your home’s foundation. Once anchored, they support and stabilize the structure, and in many cases, they can lift sunken sections of the foundation back into position.
They’re called "helical" because of the screw-like design, which allows them to twist into the ground with minimal disturbance. Unlike other methods, helical piers don’t require excavation-heavy installation—and they work exceptionally well in Indiana’s varied soil conditions.
When to Use Helical Piers
Helical piers are used in both residential and commercial applications, especially when soil conditions make traditional foundations unstable or when your home is experiencing settlement.
Signs You May Need Helical Piers
- Cracks in interior or exterior walls
- Sloping or uneven floors
- Sticking doors or windows
- Gaps between walls, ceilings, or floors
- Tilting chimneys or porches
- Foundation visibly sinking or pulling away
If you’ve noticed any of these issues, it’s time to have your foundation evaluated by a professional. The sooner the problem is addressed, the less invasive and costly the solution.
Why Helical Piers Are a Smart Solution
Immediate Load-Bearing Capacity
Unlike other methods that require curing or drying time, helical piers can support your home
immediately after installation.
Minimal Disruption to Landscaping
Because they are drilled rather than excavated, there’s less mess, no need to pour concrete, and minimal impact to your yard.
Long-Term Stability
Helical piers reach deep, load-bearing soil that remains stable regardless of surface conditions like frost, moisture, or erosion.
Ideal for New or Existing Structures
They can be used to stabilize existing foundations or support new additions and builds—even in poor soil conditions.
Our Process for Installing Helical Piers
At Heritage, we follow a precise, engineering-based process to ensure every pier performs as intended:
1. Inspection & Soil Evaluation
We examine your foundation and surrounding soil to determine pier placement and depth.
2. Mechanical Installation
Piers are drilled into the ground to load-bearing depth using specialized hydraulic equipment.
3. Bracket Connection
Custom brackets attach the pier shafts to your home’s foundation footing.
4. Lift & Level (If Applicable)
If conditions allow, we carefully lift the foundation to its original position.
5. Final Stabilization & Cleanup
We ensure everything is secure, cleaned up, and ready for long-term performance.
Each system is customized for your property and installed by trained professionals—no subcontractors, no guesswork.
