Helical piers are like giant screws that we twist into the ground beneath your foundation until they hit stable soil. They're the gold standard for lifting and stabilizing homes, especially in Houston where clay sits on top of sand at varying depths. Unlike wood posts or concrete piers, helical piers work even if the soil below your house is weak or unpredictable.
We determine the depth of stable soil using soil boring, then install piers at the correct depth and spacing. Each pier can support 10,000–30,000 pounds depending on soil conditions. A typical Houston home needs 4–8 helical piers. The total cost is usually $7,500–$12,000, making it one of the premium solutions, but the lifespan is 50+ years with zero maintenance.
Installation takes 2–4 days. We jack your house onto the piers in small increments, measure level as we go, and then build pads and caps so the structure sits permanently on solid support. This is especially popular in Greater Houston neighborhoods where clay subsidence is severe, like Bellaire, Pearland, and Katy.
If you have persistent settlement, multiple cracks reappearing after previous repairs, or a foundation engineer who recommends helical piers, we're your crew. We handle design, permitting, installation, and warranty. Call for a free consultation and soil analysis.
