Underpinning / Stabilization

Many factors can help you spot a foundation problem: cracks on the exterior or interior walls, cracks on a concrete floor, windows and doors that will not open properly or a chimney that has started to pull away from the wall of the house.

Our helical piles are screwed into the ground under your structure until they reach dense and compact soil with the desired bearing capacity.

During installation, our equipment measures the driving torque, allowing us to determine the bearing capacity of each pile in real time.

Steel foundation brackets are then bolted to the bottom of the structure and welded to the piles. Thus, the weight of the structure is directly and permanently supported by the piles. We can also straighten or gradually raise the foundations depending on the nature of the problem.

Techno Metal Post’s Engineering Department offers technical support for your foundation. Our engineers determine which piers to use, depending on the structure that needs supporting, and the soil’s condition. They will also make sure the installation complies with all municipal/county regulations and adheres to strict quality standards.
