Helical Piers in Brunswick, GA
Brunswick porches, set back on solid ground.
Older Brunswick homes often grew over the years, and the added porches and rooms rarely got the footings the main house did. Helical piers give those additions real support.

Why Brunswick homes need this, and how we do it
A lot of Brunswick homes have history, and with it a porch or a back room added on somewhere along the way. Those additions often rest on shallow blocks, a thin slab or whatever support was handy at the time. On the low mainland, with soft mixed fill underneath, that makeshift base gives way and the addition starts to lean off from the house.
Helical piers fix the cause. We screw galvanized steel piers through the soft fill down to firmer load-bearing soil and record the torque as proof each one has reached capacity, then bracket the addition to the piers. The work needs little excavation, so the porch, the steps and the yard stay mostly as they are while the support goes underneath.
With the load transferred to the piers the sinking stops, and in many cases we can bring the room or porch back toward level and tighten the gap at the wall. Because the piers generate their own capacity, they fit these lighter add-ons well. Where a heavier masonry section is involved we use push piers, and the free written inspection lays out which parts need what.
What’s included
What a helical pier installation includes
Every helical piers we do in Brunswick, GA follows the same checklist. Every pier is engineered, verified and logged. A typical installation includes:
- Soil, load and depth assessment before any pier is specified
- Pier count, spacing and locations set by the engineering, not by eye
- Excavation at each location with spoil kept off your landscaping
- Helical shafts advanced to verified torque rather than a fixed depth
- Steel foundation brackets tied into the existing footing
- Controlled load transfer, with a lift attempt where the structure allows
- Installation log with depths and torque, plus before and after photos
What we won’t do
We will not quote a pier count over the phone, we will not drive piers to a depth instead of to measured capacity, and we will not promise a lift a structure cannot take. What is realistically achievable goes in writing before you sign anything.
What to expect
Four steps, start to finish
Free inspection
We look at the cracking and separation, measure elevations, and work out what is moving and what it weighs.

Questions Brunswick homeowners ask us
The added-on room at my old Brunswick house is separating, why now?
A lot of older Brunswick homes had rooms added on makeshift shallow support that finally gives, so the addition pulls loose from the main house. Galvanized helical piers screw down to firm soil and stabilize that lighter room with very little digging.
My back porch was tacked on years ago and it's tilting, can you save it?
Yes, a porch on weak original support is exactly what helical piers are made to hold, since they anchor to load-bearing strata and lift it back. We log torque per pier and back the work with our own crews.
Is this going to be a huge dig in my yard?
No, helical piers turn into the ground so the mess stays small and the job moves fast for lighter additions and porches. For a heavier masonry part of the house we'd look at push piers.
How much does it cost to stabilize an old added room, and can I finance it?
Cost depends on how many galvanized helical piers your addition needs, which we pin down during a free inspection with a written report. We offer financing so the repair fits your budget.
Whose crew actually shows up to do the work at my house?
Our own crews handle the helical pier install start to finish, so no subcontractors are guessing on your foundation. We're around 24/7 for emergencies too if something turns urgent.
“We had stair-step cracks and a door that wouldn't close. They installed push piers and actually lifted the corner back. The cracks closed up and everything works again. They explained every step and the price didn't change.”
