Compact equipment and light historic structures make helical the sensible option downtown.
The historic homes around downtown Forsyth are light structures on brick piers, and they sit on highly expansive Piedmont clay. Both facts point toward the same underpinning method.
A driven pier needs weight to react against, and a hundred year old frame house on brick piers supplies very little. A helical pier is screwed in under its own power, which makes it workable where the alternative is not.
The clay makes torque verification useful too. Depth to stable material varies across a sloped Forsyth lot, and advancing each pier to a torque value means each one is verified where it stands. The equipment is compact enough to work in the tight side yards common downtown.
Here is what our helical pier installation work includes on a Forsyth home, in town or out toward the Monroe County line.
