If you’re seeing cracks in your foundation or footers, helical pier installation is a permanent solution. Helical piers are giant screws that we torque deep into the ground. Once your foundation is fastened to the piers, it’s not going anywhere!
If you see your foundation, patio, or stairs cracking, it doesn’t pay to wait. The longer you wait, the more damage will happen from settling, and the more helical piers will be required to fix the problem. Time matters!
Running cracks in the exterior brick and block walls are a strong indicator that there are foundation problems. This is a symptom of a foundation that is already in the process of failing.
Minor settling can be expected for new homes, but if you begin to see cracked or torn sheetrock or trim joints can be a sign of foundation-related issues.
Our customers love us because we take the time to inspect, explain the issues, and provide fair pricing. Read what our past customers have to say on Google.
Another indicator of foundation issues can be doors and windows that don't open and shut easily. As the foundation moves or settles, it can shift and pinch your window and door jambs, causing them to stick.
Foundation failure and settling is one of the most serious threats to your home's structural integrity. Cracking around window frames, like brick veneer separating from the window frame, can be symptoms of larger and more serious foundation problems.

GCF takes exhaustive measures to protect your turfgrass and landscaping around your home. Our team lays down a protective barrier along all paths taken by heavy equipment.
We start by digging to a depth just below the foundation’s footer, remove any concrete overpour that is present, clean, and prepare the footer for its lifting bracket.
Using a high-torque drive head on a mini-excavator, we drive helical piers into the ground next to the footer. Piers are driven until the drive head reaches the specified torque rating for that pipe pier. This creates an attachment point for the footer that will never move.
After the helical piers has been properly torqued, we fasten the footer to steel brackets, which are eventually fastened to the helical pier. At this point, we utilize a hydraulic ram to lift and stabilize the footer of the structure, then lock the footer into the helical pier for a zero-movement permanent solution.
No project is complete until the site has been returned to an excellent condition, both structurally and visually! We backfill all excavated areas, compact the subsoil, reinstall any landscape, and leave your property better than we found it.
We have been cleaning areas for over ten years, successful in various projects.
