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

I had an excellent experience with Helicon Foundation Repair. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and transparent about every step of the process. David took the time to explain my options clearly and delivered exactly what they promised — on time and within budget. The crew Rey, Brent and Ajay worked efficiently and kept the area clean throughout the project. It’s clear they take pride in their workmanship and customer service. I highly recommend Helicon Foundation Repair to anyone in need of reliable and high-quality foundation services.
I had a screen porch blow off during Hurricane Milton. One of the rebuilding efforts was to ensure the foundation under the wall that had supported the screen porch's attachment was secure. Helicon came and pumped in an expanding grout under the wall in question. Great job was done with precision measurements, and the area was left clean and neat. Well Done!
Rayton, Jay, Luis, Danny did a great job and left the house looking untouched. Very communicative through the installation process.
Excellent work, fast, efficient and at an affordable price. Thanks
From start to finish Helicon was patient, professional and understanding with Condo association slow deliberations. They finally months later received the approval. All the way Helicon executed a clean and neat install of remediation to soil and unstable earth around the condo. Great crew and good job. Tom
Helicon stabilized the soil behind our seawall earlier this spring. After a very wet summer, there was some new subsidence in three places along the seawall. They promptly returned, honoring their warranty, and inject additional material to reinforce the few spots that needed attention. Excellent customer service!
Jan and his team did an excellent job at our home yesterday. Our project had challenges and Jan kept up apprised and worked with us to make a decision for each section as needed. That communication led to an end result was as we expected.
The sales representative, Douglas, reviewed my home carefully, asked questions then prepared a drawing and contract. He was detailed in information and provided easily understood answers to questions. There was no pressure.

Follow up with associates was made in a timely manner by text, voice mail, and email. Tony easily answered my questions.

The techs arrived on time as scheduled. Professional, polite, focused on their tasks, respectful of neighbors and my home, treated the installation as if it were in their home.

Highly recommend Helicon!
Isaiah , Alfonzo, shelumiel, Antonio were absolutely outstanding! These guys take the job to another level! They went down till they hit rock! Totally relentless work ethic on this crew! Can recommend these guys a thousand times over - you will get only the best from this crew. Also, they were super polite and considerate! We highly recommend them and will always be grateful for the amazing experience with Helicon!!!
We are a Water Managment Special District in the state of Florida and when we started looking into repairing our outflow Dam that is responsible for 16 lakes, we took multiple bids and ended up choosing Helicon. It was a great choice! They were able to walk us through the steps of how they would be able to properly seal and help strengthen this outflow Dam that is essential to our community. Using their specialty hydrophilic foam, they were able to inject into our Dam sealing cracks and empty spaces that had eroded over time as well as pushing out water that had seeped in. they were able to accomplish this large undertaking within a day and they were able to instill a confidence in the structure that had not been there for decades. Not only would I recommend them to other government entities, companies, or individuals we are looking to work with them again in the future on the possibility of some different types of projects.
