Fill from lot grading turns easily, and the pier stops where the ground actually carries weight.
Centerville homes sit on graded lots, which means a footing may be bearing on fill that is still compacting decades after the house was built. Any pier has to pass through that fill and find something that will hold.
Helical piers are well suited to it. They turn through loose fill easily, and the torque reading rises sharply when the helices reach competent material, so the depth is determined by the ground itself.
That also means each pier is verified individually. On a house spanning cut and fill, the piers on the fill side go considerably deeper than they would on the cut side, and the torque value confirms that each one has reached capacity.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Centerville home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.

Trench Guys came to my home and corrected a sagging kitchen floor. They did a great job and guarantee their work for 10 years! I absolutely will be calling them anytime I need help.
I don't usually write reviews but John and his crew are absolutely awesome. They did my crawl space encapsulation. I got other quotes - don't waste your time with the other guys. Outstanding service at an incredible price!
