Drycrete Waterproofing installs helical piers to stabilize sinking or settling foundations by transferring structural weight to stronger soil beneath your home.
With over 30 years of foundation repair experience, our team at Drycrete Waterproofing serves homeowners throughout Boston, Eastern Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. We assess foundation problems, recommend appropriate repairs, and provide clear estimates before work begins.
Helical piers are steel foundation supports with screw-shaped plates that anchor into stable, load-bearing soil. They support foundations that are settling, sinking, or otherwise unstable.
Helical pier foundation repairs transfer a structure’s weight from weak soil to stronger ground below. This method stabilizes affected foundation sections without requiring extensive excavation around your entire home.
Boston’s clay soils, glacial deposits, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles contribute to foundation movement. Drycrete Waterproofing evaluates your current soil to determine whether helical piers or another structural foundation repair method best addresses the problem.
Helical piers provide structural support for settling foundations. When properly designed and installed, foundation helical piers offer several advantages:
Helical pier installation involves evaluating the foundation, determining support requirements, and installing piers where additional structural support is necessary. Our team will keep you informed every step of the way so you know what to expect.
Our team inspects your foundation for signs of settlement, including cracks, uneven floors, and sticking doors or windows. We evaluate the affected areas, explain our findings, and identify suitable repair options.
We create a custom repair plan tailored to your home. You’ll receive a written estimate outlining the recommended work before we begin installation.
During installation, hydraulic equipment rotates the steel piers into the ground until they reach the required resistance and support capacity. Our installers connect the helical foundation piers to the existing foundation using structural brackets.
After completing the repairs, our team conducts a final walkthrough to review the finished work. We also provide applicable warranty documentation and explain the completed repairs, giving you a clear record of the work performed.
At Drycrete Waterproofing, we provide residential helical pier installation for homeowners in Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island dealing with foundation settlement. Our team evaluates your home’s foundation conditions and recommends repairs based on the cause and extent of the movement.

Helical piers stabilize foundations affected by settlement or unstable soil. They transfer structural weight to deeper, load-bearing ground to support the affected foundation sections.
Both helical piers and push piers are installed with hydraulic equipment. The difference is helical piers rely on the soil’s resistance to lift and hold the structure, while push piers rely on the weight of the structure itself. The right method depends on your foundation’s condition and soil stability.
Properly designed and installed helical piers provide long-term structural support by transferring foundation loads to stable soil. Their performance depends on soil conditions, installation quality, and structural requirements.
Installation time depends on the number of piers, soil conditions, foundation accessibility, and project complexity. Our team evaluates these factors during your assessment and discusses the expected project timeline.
Helical pier installation costs depend on the number of piers, required installation depth, and soil conditions. Contact Drycrete Waterproofing for a free foundation assessment and a written estimate based on your home’s needs.
