The Grip-Tite® Helical Pier System drives deep into stable, load-bearing soil to permanently stabilize a failing foundation — installed in days, no heavy equipment needed.
More and more homes and commercial buildings are built on unstable soil. Each year, thousands of owners face costly repairs from foundation problems caused by shifting or saturated earth.
Helical piers are driven deep into stable, load-bearing soil by hydraulic torque motors. They transfer the weight of your structure from unstable ground to solid earth through high-strength steel shafts.
After installation, your foundation is stabilized to its originally designed load. You may also notice easier-opening windows and doors, and reduced cracking in mortar joints.
Helical flights are geometrically spaced along the shaft to minimize soil disruption as the pier is advanced to the required depth and load capacity.
A bracket connects the installed shaft directly to your failing foundation, transferring the full structural load onto the pier system.
Your structure is locked in place, preventing further vertical movement. Installation is vibration-free — unlike traditional driven piles.
The entire system can be installed year-round in days — even in tight or limited-access areas with no heavy machinery required on site.
No wait — piers are installed in any season. No curing time, no weather delays, no scheduling gaps.
Only minimal digging around the foundation area — protecting your landscaping and property.
Helical piers are screwed in, not hammered — no impact force that could further stress your structure.
The Grip-Tite® system prevents further vertical movement, backed by a 25-year manufacturer's warranty.
Many homeowners aren't sure whether they're facing a real foundation problem. These are the most common indicators that unstable soil is causing movement beneath your home or building.
The Helical Pier System is manufactured by Grip-Tite Manufacturing Company, the world's leading authority in earth anchoring technology since 1921. All system components are warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for 25 years under normal use.
All Grip-Tite dealers are independently trained and certified in the system, backed by over a century of anchoring experience. Newcomb Outdoors is a certified dealer proud to serve East Tennessee.
