Anchor Your Foundation on Solid Ground With Helical Piers
Precision-installed steel helical piers reach stable load-bearing soil beneath New Jersey's challenging surface conditions, providing immediate foundation stabilization, documented load capacity through torque monitoring, and permanent structural support for residential and commercial properties.

Our Proven Process
- 1
Site Evaluation & Soil Analysis
We assess your foundation condition, measure settlement and deflection, review any available soil boring or geotechnical data, and evaluate load distribution across the structure. For New Jersey's variable soils -- from coastal sands in Ocean and Monmouth counties to the heavy clays of Middlesex and Mercer -- understanding the subsurface profile is critical to specifying the correct helix configuration, shaft diameter, and target installation depth.

Engineered Pier Layout & Specifications
A site-specific installation plan is engineered specifying the number, location, and spacing of helical piers, helix plate diameters and configurations, target torque values, estimated depth ranges, and bracket types. The design accounts for structural loads, soil conditions, and any required lifting or leveling. We handle all New Jersey municipal permit applications as part of this phase.

Helical Pier Installation With Torque Monitoring
Using compact hydraulic drive equipment, we screw each helical pier into the ground while continuously monitoring torque readings in real time. The pier advances through unstable surface soils until the torque readings confirm it has reached competent bearing strata at the target load capacity. Extension shafts are added as needed to reach the required depth, which typically ranges from 15 to 30 feet in New Jersey soils.
- 4
Foundation Stabilization, Lifting & Bracket Connection
Engineered pier brackets are secured to your foundation footing or slab. Hydraulic jacks transfer the structure's weight from the failing surface soil onto the helical pier system. Where settlement has occurred, controlled lifting is applied to raise the foundation back toward its original elevation. Each lift increment is carefully monitored to avoid overstressing the structure.
- 5
Documentation, Inspection & Transferable Warranty
We provide a comprehensive installation report including torque logs for every pier, as-built drawings showing pier locations and depths, helix configurations, and verified load capacities. The system is inspected for compliance with the engineering specifications and local building code requirements. You receive a transferable warranty backed by both the pier manufacturer and our company, protecting your investment for the long term.
Frequently Asked Questions
Stop Foundation Settlement Before It Becomes Structural
Settling foundations don't fix themselves. Helical piers halt movement immediately — you'll see measurable results on day one of installation.
