Helical piers, or screw piers, are another method available for foundation stabilization. Unfortunately, they are not meant for this type of repair. A helical pier is designed to secure lighter structures (porches, out buildings, etc.) For this situation, they can be very effective. Once again, this system does not offer house leveling abilities you are looking for.

Push piers are hydraulically driven into the ground until load bearing strata or bedrock is reached. Once the foundation has been secured from further settlement problems, the system can be used to lift your home.
