Helical Piers: Precision Foundation Support for Colorado Homes

Helical piers are one of the most versatile foundation repair tools available. A steel shaft with one or more helical (screw-shaped) plates is rotated deep into the ground until it reaches competent load-bearing soil or bedrock. Once installed, the pier is attached to your foundation with a steel bracket, transferring the weight of your home from unstable surface soil to solid ground below.

In Colorado, helical piers are especially effective because our expansive clay soils often sit above stable layers of bedrock or dense gravel. By bypassing the problematic clay entirely, helical piers provide permanent, engineered stabilization that will not be affected by future moisture or soil movement.

Helical piers are installed with specialized rotary equipment that creates minimal vibration and disturbance to your property. They are ideal for lighter structures, areas with limited access (such as crawlspaces), and new construction applications where deep foundations are required.

Every helical pier installation we perform is independently verified by a licensed structural engineer. Torque readings are taken during installation to confirm that each pier has reached adequate bearing capacity. This data is documented and included in your engineering report.
