Helical Piers for Foundation Stabilization in Northern California

Deep foundation support that reaches stable soil, ideal for settlement repair, limited access, and varied site conditions.

Reliable Deep Support with Helical Piers

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.
