At HomeStrong we specialize in new construction piers. New construction helical piers are a preferred design method for many engineers and contractors in Colorado. By incorporating helical piers into the foundation design, the engineer and builder can ensure that any newly poured foundation does not shift after being built. This is not only great for the builder but also the customer they are working with. Our new construction helical piers come with a lifetime transferable warranty against movement. Our installers are versed in new construction layout as well as shooting elevations. Their expertise and experience allow us to ensure a smooth and quick installation on any project.
If you are a homeowner, contractor, or engineer wanting to incorporate helical piers into your new build design, schedule a free inspection with one of our design specialists to visit the property and give a quote on the needed work.
Helical piers are a foundation product that allows us to build safe, stable homes upon soil that would otherwise not safely support a home. But what are helical piers and how do they achieve this?
A helical pier is a large, steel rod with several steel plates – or helixes – strategically placed along the shaft of the rod. Several of these piers are placed around the foundation of your home to evenly distribute the weight of your home’s foundation. These piers are hydraulically driven into the ground, well past the unstable surface soil into the bedrock underneath.
Once the rods have been driven to the proper depth, the steel plates, or helixes, along the piers wedge themselves into the surrounding stable soil. This creates anchor points along the foundation of your home, giving it a strong and stable foundation where it otherwise would have no chance of having one.
Helical piers are an especially important for foundations for our area of Colorado, where we have high levels of bentonite, which is highly absorbent and can cause the soil to swell up to eight times, causing significant instability. If your home is in one of these areas, call the team at HomeStrong today to schedule an evaluation and receive a free quote on your helical pier. Our team serves the entire Denver, CO metro area, from Castle Rock to Fort Collins and everywhere in-between.
