Compact equipment and no need for structure weight makes helical the practical choice on rural homes.
Kathleen has a mix of older farmhouses and newer subdivision builds, and helical piers suit both for different reasons. On a light pier and beam farmhouse there is little structure weight for a driven pier to react against, and a helical pier needs none.
On a newer home set into graded fill, the helices turn through the loose material and stop where the torque reading says the ground carries the load. Either way the ground decides the depth.
Rural access helps. The equipment is compact enough to reach most working positions without disturbing much, and on acreage there is room to bring it around the house. We take elevations first, work out where support has been lost, and place piers where the loads actually need carrying.
Kathleen homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.

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!
