- In this video, we walk through the process of installing helical piers to correct a home's settling, cracked foundation. Because the foundation was not level, we also show how to use lift cylinders to boost the foundation up and fix the problem.

Seen this used on a fence. Looked it up and you guys showed up, it has got to be cheaper than a rebuild but I bet it is not cheap. Great video that was cool
That must have been a big fence! Or a small pier. ha! Yes, definitely more cost effective to repair than replace.
Great demonstration and explanation. Thanks.
Happy to help!
I just received a quote in Albany GA for 12 helical piers at 25ft. Its total cost is $14700. I'd really like to become certified in this area of expertise. I love seeing how you did this. It looks like it takes at least a 6-man crew. How long have you been doing this? Your work is amazing!!! 😁 How can i learn to do this? Do you offer franchise opportunities? My business is a remodel and repair business, and I'd love to be a part of your team.
Hi Daniel!
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment! We have been at it for over 13 years now. Unfortunately, we do not offer franchises. There are a few companies out there that do, however.
I’m fascinated with it too. I’m a designer for a huge tech company but would rather fix foundations. lol
@@tifacola It's fun! Every situation is different and a unique challenge. We love educating people on the process as well.
This was interesting to see...what happens with pipes and other things running under the house, particularly if you need to relevel?
Typically pipes don't run very far underneath the ground. We call JULIE to locate any lines, and they are found while we do our work, as we must start at the bottom of the foundation.
The main ones to worry about are sewer lines (which run right under the foundation or through it and easily identified and avoided), gas lines (usually not too far below the ground, so located and avoided), electrical (usually above ground, but below ground is located and avoided), and water lines (3' at least beneath the ground, but easily identified from location tags and where it comes in the home on the interior).
@@Therealsealllc Thanks...my question was less about concern for pipes underground (although that IS a factor to keep in mind) but rather when the house is releveled, do pipes running from the house need to be disconnected so that they do not break? For example, a pipe from the sewage in the house that then connects to a pipe running into the main sewage line that may move a bit during releveling.
@@sullyprudhomme Great question!
Yes, depending on the area of lift and amount of lift, it may be necessary to disconnect the sewer line before lifting. Many times, it will have sunk down with the foundation, however, and lifts back up correctly. At that point, all you need to do is re-seal/connect the pipe on the outside.
How long would a 14 pier project on a home usually take once started? No decks or landscaping to deal with.
Very informative video.
Hi Jerry!
A 14 pier project, all clear, we would expect to be able to be completed within a week's time. How long exactly depends on how deep the piers go. The shorter they go, the quicker the job. Let us know if we can help!
about 2500 per cyclinder
Hi Jason! Do you have some context to the comment? Are you talking about the psi needed in order to know you've reached supportive strata?
How much does this cost?
Hi Melissa! It depends on the application/accessibility/scope of work, but the average cost for Helical Piers is $2,000 per pier.

Wish I could send you pictures of my issue so I could see what you think.
@@Therealsealllc
We're getting ready to sell our house. I was cleaning out the basement when I found I could see outside light through the crack. I contacted a local foundation Crack repair company and when they saw the pictures said they couldn't help us because we need piering help. I had no idea what that was so I did research. Now I'm worried our amazing house won't sell because of this and we won't be able to move. We MUST move soon because my spouse is ill.
Hi Melissa!
We're sorry to hear your spouse is ill, and wish them the best! Where are you located? We are in Chicagoland, but do have trusted resources out of our service area. We know other companies like us around the country, maybe we can get lucky and get you to the right people!
Send some pics to Office@TheRealSeal.com
Third world country building standards in the first place that those things are even needed. Also depressing how much this house probably cost compared to France Germany Poland. British standards are shit to but just at different levels 😂
More than that, building codes differ state to state and even town to town! It's almost like nobody can agree on the best way to build a house.
@@Therealsealllc Crazy....
@@notoco1199 What a world...
That garage is not worth the cost of this repair. lol
It all depends on what you use and want it for. For this homeowner, the cost was worth the repair, as they did it and were quite happy with it.
