Choosing between polyurethane foam and steel piers depends on whether you are addressing a cosmetic surface issue or a structural foundation problem. We offer both solutions and can help you determine the best fit for your specific site conditions in Colorado.
Polyurethane Foam Injection
Polyurethane foam is primarily used for Polyurethane Foam Lifting (also known as slab jacking). This method is best for:
Steel Helical Piers
We are The Experts in Steel Piers, which provide true foundation underpinning. Steel piers are the superior choice for:
As a family-owned and operated company since 1996, we recommend a professional on-site inspection to provide a custom-quote solution. While foam is a fast, cost-effective option for non-structural leveling, steel piers deliver the permanent stability required for structural restoration.
All information is for general informational purposes. Estimates are preliminary and not binding until confirmed in writing following an on-site inspection. Consult a licensed structural engineer for definitive diagnosis.
A professional structural forensic report, prepared by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE), is a comprehensive diagnostic document that identifies the root causes of foundation distress. Unlike a basic contractor walkthrough, this report is based on empirical data collection and structural…
The cost of helical pier installation is influenced by several site-specific and technical variables. Because no two properties have identical ground conditions or structural needs, pricing is typically determined through custom quotes rather than flat rates. Key factors influencing the…
The manufacturing, testing, and installation of commercial helical piers are governed by several specific ASTM International standards to ensure structural integrity and predictable performance. These include:ASTM F3143-18: This serves as the primary standard for commercial helical piles, establishing minimum requirements…
Based on the provided content, there are eight primary causes of foundation failure and structural distress:Poor Drainage and Water Accumulation: This occurs when water pools near the foundation due to improper grading, clogged gutters, or short downspout extensions, which can…
The load capacities for commercial helical piles are determined through a systematic combination of engineering analysis and real-time installation data. Rather than a single fixed value, capacity is verified using the following methods:Torque-to-Capacity Correlation: During installation, rotary equipment records the…
