Helical Piers

Transfer the Weight of Your Structure to Deep Soils

Helical piers are engineered steel shafts with screw-like helical plates designed to stabilize and support foundations. By advancing the piers deep into stable soil or bedrock, Helicon ensures your foundation load is transferred away from weak surface soils and onto solid, load-bearing strata.

What are Helical Piers?

Helical piers (also known as helical piles or screw anchors) are advanced foundation elements designed to secure structures built on unstable soil. Each pier consists of a steel shaft with helical plates welded near the tip, allowing it to be hydraulically “screwed” deep into the ground.

Once advanced to the proper depth and torque, the piers are attached to the foundation with heavy-duty steel brackets. This process creates a secure connection that transfers the weight of the structure onto stable soil or bedrock, providing immediate load-bearing capacity.

How Helicon’s Helical Pier System Works

  • Brackets are mounted at strategic points beneath the foundation
  • Helical piers are rotated deep into stable strata using hydraulic equipment
  • The system locks into place as the piers achieve the required depth and torque resistance
  • Foundations may be gently lifted and permanently secured

They do a great job and the people are the best ask for Manny.
These guys were great! Miguel was super sweet and informative.
I highly recommend Helicon, the quality of work and most importantly the communication exceeded my expectations.
Bryce and his crew from Helicon were fantastic. Did a walkthrough prior explained the process answered all my questions and updated me during the repair. Did a great job.
I highly recommend Helicon for their outstanding service and integrity! Scheduling was a breeze—they got me an appointment just 3 days after my call and even told me upfront who would be coming. Andrew followed up the next day to confirm and offered an earlier slot (which I unfortunately couldn't take).
I was dealing with a recurring depression in the soil right next to my house, losing 4-5 inches every couple of months. When Andrew arrived, he took the time to discuss the issue, started digging to investigate nearby water sources, and within 10 minutes pinpointed the problem: a leak in my sprinkler system.
Amazingly, there was no charge for the visit or diagnosis. I was blown away by their honesty—it's rare to find a company with this level of integrity these days. Thank you, Andrew and Helicon!
Great experience with Helicon from the initial call to the first rep who visited my home within a couple of days of that call. He (Doug) was very helpful. I felt comfortable with his recommendations compared to another company that I spoke with. When the repair crew came a few days later, they went right to work. Their plan was already set and they worked on the project with knowledge and sincerity that you don’t expect to see too much these days. Many thanks to Rey, the project foreman and his crew. Helicon was well represented by these individuals.
Our community had a hole which would not fill. Helicon came out and was able to detect the issue and best way to fix the issue. They were professional and quick. We have not had the hole reappeared. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.
Had minor settlement cracks in a garage wall. Doug recommended soil injection. Price was fair and the did the job when scheduled. Jan and his crew came out did the job quickly and neatly and cleaned up after themselves. Jan was a pleasure to deal with. Very happy. If you wait too long and you let early signs of settlement get worse you may need more expensive fixes. Act when you first see it and save money in the long term.
the crews were excellent. did s good clean job
My wife and I hired Helicon to eliminate our issues with soil erosion through our sea wall. We were worried that we’d have to spend a fortune on replacing our sea wall as we have almost 300feet. Andrew came out and gave an honest inspection of the sea wall and determined that the sea wall was healthy, but we were indeed losing soil.

Bryce and his crew came out, said it would be a 5 day job and they completed the entirety of the project in 5 days without issue. Very satisfied and we were able to save hundreds of thousands and extend the life and health of our sea wall through Helicon’s product and service.
