The HPS Solution: The installation of Helical Piers under a damaged building or concrete slab, transfers the load of the building or concrete slab from the weakened soil to the engineered helical piers. Proper installation of helical piers prevents the foundation from sinking.

Soil may lose moisture, due to drought, causing the foundation to settle. Settlement is greatest near the perimeter of the foundation, where the soil dries quicker.

During construction, if the load bearing soil is not compacted enough, the foundation is subject to settlement as the supporting soils compacts under load.

When a foundation spans over differing soil conditions, the foundation may settle differently. When one half of the foundation is supported by expansive clay and the other half on rock, the amount of movement varies from one half to the other. This poorly designed foundation system will damage the foundation and structure due to the differential movement.

HPS installation professionals are fully trained and certified in installation and repair procedures.

Certified Installers are fully supported by the HPS engineers and design teams.
