Garage Helical Pier Fix in Oakville, MO

Job Type:

Previously and Poorly Installed Piers Cause Troubles for Oakville Homeowner

Mr. Murray, the owner of a single-story frame house in Oakville, Missouri, had a garage where piers were installed twice prior to 2006 within 3 years of each other.

 

Shallow Pipe/Push Piers Lead to Garage Settling

The first pier project had concrete piers installed to a depth of approximately 6 feet. The second pier project had a round, steel “pipe” or “push” pier installed. These piers require, in part, the counterbalance weight of the structure to assist in the installation process.

Although the company that had installed the steel piers assured the customer that the piers would be installed to “bedrock” they were only installed to a depth of approximately 4 feet.

South St. Louis Homeowner Happy with Installation of Galvanized Helical Piers

Helitech was hired to install galvanized Helical piers, which do not rely on counterbalance weight for installation.

The piers were installed to an average depth of 16-18 feet by placing the drivehead directly on top of the pier and driving the pier to competent load bearing strata.

Helitech completed the installation in 2 days, providing a sound foundation on which the garage could finally rest.

When I first found out I had a water problem in my basement, I was worried, to say the least. 100-year-old home with a leaky basement, not an easy fix. I called several different waterproofing companies. Helitech responded the fastest and when it was all said and done they gave me the most peace of mind and they made me feel secure that my old house would be fixed properly and permanently. Thanks, Helitech and to my salesmen Jon Courtney. Great job and service.
