Helical Pier Installation

When your property requires high-capacity screw-pile underpinning, our helical pier installation in Irving offers precision-engineered support for settling slabs, additions, and light commercial foundations.

Helical piers—often referred to as screw piles—feature solid high-yield steel shafts equipped with circular helix plates welded at engineered pitch intervals. Unlike conventional pressed pilings that rely solely on the vertical downward weight of the home to push segments into the earth, helical piers are hydraulically rotated deep into the subsoil using high-torque drive heads. In Irving's active clay soils, this rotating action allows helical piers to cut cleanly through friction-heavy upper strata and anchor firmly into dense, load-bearing soil beds.

Elm Fork Foundation Pros utilizes continuous digital torque monitoring throughout the driving sequence to calculate the exact ultimate load-bearing capacity of every pier in real time. This mechanical verification ensures each pier provides superior uplift resistance against clay upheaval as well as unyielding downward load support, making helical piers ideal for custom slab additions, pier-and-beam crawl spaces, and stabilizing compromised grade beams.
