Helical Pier Installation for Clinchfield homeowners
Mill-era houses in Clinchfield are small and light, built on shallow footings with modest pier support. When one of those footings loses bearing, the options for underpinning are limited by exactly that lightness.
A driven pier relies on the weight of the structure to advance into the ground. On a small mill house there is little of it, so the pier stalls before reaching capacity. A helical pier is screwed in under its own power and needs no reaction weight at all.
The sandy clay here holds water and softens, so the bearing layer is below the zone that changes seasonally. The torque reading tells us when the helices have reached material that carries the load through the whole year, wet months included.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Clinchfield home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
