Foundation Repair Photo Album: Helical Piers Installation in Powell, OH

This home in Powell, Ohio, had several noticeable signs of foundation settlement both outside and inside the house. These included stairstep cracks in the foundation as well as cracks near the walls, windows, and chimney. Our sales inspector, Joe, recommended helical piers to stabilize the foundation and prevent it from sinking any further. Our crew installed 9 helical piers beneath the home's back patio to stabilize the foundation and potentially lift it back towards its original position.
