WHAT IS EXISTING CONCRETE SLAB FOUNDATION SUPPORT?
Concrete slab support with helical piers is achieved by transfering the concrete floor slab’s weight onto helical piers before or after foundation construction. COMMON FOUNDATION SUPPORT APPLICATIONS Among the other growing applications for the CHANCE® Helical Pier are foundation repair, new foundation support as in Jewish Museum of Maryland, and the support of any existing concrete slab which is: 1) settling due to soil erosion beneath, or 2) in need of strengthening due to current or increased load requirements. We offer foundation repair to sagging concrete floors, stabilizing them by securing a slab bracket to a Helical Pier which has been drilled through cored access holes into the underlying soil. HOW CONCRETE SLAB FOUNDATION SUPPORT WORKS 1) The area in need of support is identified. 2) An 8″ or 10″ hole is cored through the slab. 3) A Helical Pier is advanced into the underlying soil and… 4) Torqued to the desired capacity. 5) A slab bracket is then secured to the top of the
