Steel piers with helix plates turn into the soil until they reach real bearing capacity, then carry the house from there.
Helical piers are a good fit for many Hardwick homes. They work well under lighter structures like single-story brick ranches and frame houses, and they install without the heavy weight of the house being needed to drive them down, which matters on older homes.
Each pier is a steel shaft with one or more helix plates welded near the tip. A hydraulic drive head turns it into the ground like a screw. Torque gets measured as it goes, and that reading tells us when the pier has reached soil strong enough to carry the load. Soft creek-bottom clay and loose sand get passed through.
We excavate at the footing, install each pier to its target torque, and attach a bracket that transfers the house weight to the pier. Lifting is done carefully where needed. Every Hardwick helical pier estimate starts with a free inspection, photos and a written price.
Our helical pier installation scope is the same on every Hardwick home, whatever the Baldwin County ground turns out to be doing.
