Foundation Repair Photo Album: Helical Pier restored a foundation in in Kingston, TN
In Kingstone, TN, a residential apartment faced foundation settlement problems due to its location on a steep hill. Our home inspector quickly identified heavy rainfall and humidity changes as causes, leading to soil erosion and shifts in the house foundation. To address this, we installed four helical piers, resembling large screws, to securely anchor the home to stable ground. These piers, precisely installed and connected to the footing with steel brackets, ensure long-term stability for the house.
