Helical Piers

Stabilizing Multi-Family Structures from the Ground Up

When the foundation of a multi-unit building shifts, the consequences ripple through every level — cracked walls, sticking doors, uneven floors, water intrusion, and resident complaints. At TRS, we bring proven expertise in helical pier installation as a long-term solution to foundation settlement in apartment communities, condominium associations, and light commercial buildings.

Whether you’re stabilizing a structure already in distress or proactively reinforcing new additions, TRS delivers helical pier repairs with precision, professionalism, and minimal disruption to your residents.

Why Helical Piers?

Helical piers are an ideal solution for stabilizing and lifting structures built on poor or shifting soils. These steel, screw-like anchors are drilled deep into load-bearing strata, providing permanent foundation support without the need for extensive excavation.

At TRS, we use helical piers to address:

  • Settling foundations and uneven slabs
  • Cracked or bowing foundation walls
  • Failed or underbuilt footers
  • Sloping floors in stacked apartment buildings
  • Additions that weren’t properly tied into the original foundation
  • Retrofitting and reinforcement of existing structures

Our teams are trained in manufacturer-approved methods and engineer-directed pier layouts to ensure optimal load transfer and long-term stability.

Tailored for Multi-Family Environments

Installing piers under a single-family home is one thing — doing it under a 24-unit building is another. TRS specializes in helical pier installation within occupied, operational multi-family and light commercial properties.

We understand how to:

  • Stage access in tight courtyards, under cantilevers, or between buildings
  • Install piers without damaging landscaping or utilities
  • Communicate with residents before and during work
  • Coordinate with property managers and HOA boards
  • Complete repairs without displacing residents whenever possible

We work efficiently and safely to keep your building stable — and your residents comfortable.

A Repair-First Approach, Not Just New Construction

While helical piers are often used in new construction, TRS focuses on their use in repairs. We bring in helical piers to stop settlement, lift sinking foundations, and permanently solve the underlying issue — not just patch drywall cracks again and again.
Our process includes:

  • Foundation and soil assessment
  • Engineer-specified pier layouts
  • Real-time torque and depth monitoring during installation
  • Optional lifting to recover original elevation (when feasible)
  • Structural repair and cosmetic restoration once stabilized
  • Full documentation and post-repair reporting

TRS ensures that the helical pier solution is right-sized for your building’s unique needs.

Fully Coordinated, Start-to-Finish

We don’t just install piers — we handle the project from every angle:

  • Interior and exterior access coordination
  • Communication with residents and boards
  • Permitting and inspection scheduling
  • Restoration of disturbed hardscape or landscape areas
  • Repair of finishes once foundation work is complete

We work as your turnkey partner to restore both structural integrity and resident peace of mind.

Insurance & HOA Communication Support

Depending on the cause of the settlement, helical pier work may be partially covered by insurance or special assessments. TRS helps property managers and boards navigate the documentation process with:

  • Engineer reports and repair scopes
  • Photo documentation and progress updates
  • Attendance at HOA board or community meetings
  • Transparent, easy-to-understand explanations of scope and timeline

We help build trust as we rebuild the foundation.
