Photo Album: Helical Pier Installation in Athens, TN
The foundation of a home in Athens, TN faced settlement problems due to soil shifts or erosion, potentially leading to compromised structural integrity. Our home inspector identified a specific area requiring additional support due to a notable stair-step crack. To address this concern, our team fitted helical piers, similar to large screws, to firmly fasten the home to stable ground in the vicinity. This action secures the stability of the house for the long term.

The cracks were hidden by the vegetation surrounding the building.
