These screw piers are best used on slab foundations, porches, and other lightweight structures. They are one of the two most common types of structural piering devices for residential foundation applications in use today. Helical anchors can be used to lift homes or stabilize foundations when driven deeply to stable soils.
Helical anchors can remedy a variety of problems in your home. Most homeowners notice that there’s a problem when they get water in their basements or crawlspaces, but chances are, there are signs that point to a need for foundation repair long before that. A sinking or settling foundation can often cause problems like wall or slab cracks, bowing or leaning walls, sticking doors or windows, and even mold growth due to excess moisture.
