The Supportworks’ Helical Pier system is the solution for this type of foundation settlement.
For both heavy structures and light structures such as stoops, decks and wing walls Supportworks’ Helical Pier system is uniquely suited . To avoid any unnecessary disruption to your lawn and landscape installations can be performed year-round and utilize small construction equipment or hand equipment .
The Supportworks’ Helical Pier system uses rugged steel galvanized helical piers advanced deep into the earth’s soil to transfer the weight of your home onto competent, load-bearing strata or bedrock. During the installation, helical pier sections are mechanically screwed into the soil. The piers are carefully monitored as they are advanced deep into the soil to achieve capacity.
Push Piers installed in South Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming
FSI Foundation Push Piers, provided by Blackburn Foundation Repair of South Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska provide maximum foundation support for your needs. Driven deep into bedrock, or other supporting strata, push piers offer the most support for homes and other heavy structures. Push piers penetrate deeply, without warping or bending because there is very little friction caused during installation. Push piers are perfect for low-impact interior installations as well.
After installation the opportunity to raise the foundation to a more level position can cause the cracks in stucco, brick and other exterior finishes to close. Drywall cracks can be reduced somewhat as well, along with better movement of doors and windows. Even leaning chimneys can show improvement.

Helical Pier and Push Pier FAQs
What do foundation piers do?
Foundation piers transfer the weight of a settling structure from weak or unstable soil to stronger load-bearing soil or bedrock.
What is the difference between a helical pier and a push pier?
Helical piers are screwed into the ground and can be used for lighter structures or new construction. Push piers are driven into the soil using the weight of the existing structure.
Can piers lift a settled foundation?
The first goal is to stabilize the foundation. In suitable conditions, carefully controlled lifting may also recover some of the lost elevation.
How many piers will my home need?
The number and placement depend on the affected area, structural loads, soil conditions, and depth of stable support. A site inspection is needed to design the system.
How do I know whether piers are the right repair?
Symptoms such as stair-step cracks, sticking openings, and uneven floors may have several causes. Learn more about foundation settlement or schedule a free inspection.
