Install Helical Piers in Your New Construction Home in Kansas City


Install helical piers prior to pouring the foundation footing to help minimize the effects of foundation settlement. The soil in Kansas City and the surrounding areas are expansive, which means that the soil will expand and shrink. Wet soil expands, while dry soil shrinks. This constant shifting and movement of the soil beneath your foundation can cause your foundation to sink, settle, and move. 

helical piers help stabilize new construction homes in kansas city

New homes built on compacted fill or poor soil will likely have excessive or inconsistent settlement.

Excessive and inconsistent settlement can cause the foundation to crack. Installing helical piers during the construction process can help prevent foundation damage when building on expansive or inconsistent soils. Helical piers will anchor the new home on stable soil from the very beginning, minimizing the chance for inconsistent settlement.

Install helical piers prior to pouring the foundation footing.

Helical piers are installed in the foundation ditch, prior to pouring the footing. Once the piers are placed far enough below the shifting soils, the foundation footing is poured. It is important to know that all new structures are subject to settlement. Some settlement is normal, and should be expected. But rather than waiting a few years and hoping that your foundation settles evenly, wouldn’t you rather have peace of mind?
