Commercial Foundation Repair in AL and TN

New Construction Helical Piles
Helical piles (also called helical piers, steel piers, mini piles, micro piles, underpinning piers or steel piers) are often used in new construction applications before a foundation slab is poured. The helical pier sections are torque-driven into the ground until the target resistance is reached. Pile caps are then installed to provide greater surface area in underpinning the foundation.

Foundation Underpinning for Large Structures
Many commercial structures experience the same signs of foundation failure as residential home foundation repair. However, due to the weight of the structure, it becomes necessary to utilize heavy-duty helical piles and underpinning brackets. Alabama Foundation Specialists often use Drive Rite Piering System's heavy-duty helical piles and underpinning brackets to support larger structures. These piles and brackets have incredible load-bearing capacity, most often exceeding the requirements of the job. We've repaired many commerical foundations in Alabama and Tennessee.

Tieback Anchors
Alabama Foundation Specialists also install helical piles (in this application called tiebacks, tieback anchors, or helix anchors) to hault horizontal movement. When a basement or retaining wall is subterranean, hydrostatic pressure builds up as moisture expands the earth on the other side of the wall. Thus, basements, subterranean walls, and retaining walls often experience buckling or bowing. Vertical cracks may appear, or the wall may be obviously shifting. Alabama Foundation Specialists utilize Drive Rite Piering System's sophisticated tieback anchors, adapters, and plates to ensure stability on the affected walls.
