Helical piers (also called helical piles or screw piles) are steel shafts with helical plates that are rotated into the ground until they reach competent load-bearing soil or rock. They are an excellent solution for foundation settlement in Chico, and surrounding areas where expansive clays or fill soils exist near the surface.
Because installation requires relatively light equipment and creates minimal vibration, helical piers work well on residential properties, sites with limited access, and near existing structures. Capacity is verified during installation by measuring torque, providing confidence in the final support system.


Proper helical pier design and installation depend on understanding local soil profiles and structural loads. Our team selects the correct pier configuration and installs to the required depth and capacity for lasting performance in Northern California conditions.
