Excellent work from Queen Foundation Repair! From beginning to end, the crew operated with efficiency and professionalism. Carlos and his team completed the foundation repair project in less than four days, and even our neighbors have complimented the immediate transformation. I highly recommend them for foundation work, foundation repair, and water restoration.

I had a persistent rat problem in my crawlspace. After years of dealing with exterminators, I turned to QFR, and they solved the issue. Not only did they address the rats, but they also fixed some hidden plumbing leaks. Their crew worked quickly and efficiently, performing exceptional water damage, water restoration, and crawl space encapsulation services.

Hi, I had some cracks in my foundation after purchasing my new home and was concerned about them. Queen Foundation Repair made everything a very easy and stress-free process. They came out and repaired these cracks within a day, and the crew, including Dario and Sharon, was very knowledgeable. Thanks very much!

I cannot say enough about these guys — they were a pleasure to work with. Sharon, who was extremely knowledgeable, handled the scheduling, and Carlos and Dario did the assessment and repair of the foundation issues we were having. They answered every question we had, showed up exactly when they said they would, and back all of their work with a lifetime guarantee. Your search for a foundation repair company is over!

I'm very pleased with the results. I can clearly see the excellent work Jason's crew did on our crawl space. His team was friendly and left the property clean. This is the first time I've posted a review because I think people should know about them. Call them when you need crawl space repairs in Albany NY!

The customer care provided by Queen Foundation repair was exceptional. From the first contact to the final walkthrough, they were attentive, informative, and very responsive to my questions and concerns. They took the time to explain the encapsulation process and how it would benefit my home. Their crew was respectful and ensured that the work was completed to a high standard. It's clear that they value their customers and take pride in their work. Our crawl space is now dry, clean, and well-insulated. Highly recommended!

I'm absolutely delighted with the exceptional assessment service provided by Queen Foundation Repair! When I noticed sloping floors in our bungalow, I knew I needed expert help. Scheduling an assessment was a breeze via email, and John arrived promptly as scheduled. His warm and personable demeanor put me at ease, and his expertise shone through as he quickly identified the root cause of our issue.

I reached out to this company about an issue they couldn't handle, but they were very responsive. They did a thorough inspection and gave recommendations related to their specialty. They even provided a reference number for another company that could help with our issue. They're great for foundation repair work, and I'd definitely recommend them.

Signs Your Home Needs Helical Piers

These warning signs mean your foundation is moving — and it won't stop on its own.

Sinking Floors and Uneven Foundation Settlement

Put a ball on your floor. If it rolls, one side of your foundation has dropped. This kind of uneven settlement gets worse every year as the soil keeps shifting underneath.

Stair-step cracks in a concrete block basement wall caused by foundation settling

Stair-Step Cracks in Basement or Block Walls

Cracks that follow the mortar joints in a zigzag pattern mean part of your foundation is sinking. These cracks grow wider over time and can start letting water in.

Interior door frame misaligned and sticking due to foundation movement

Doors and Windows That Stick or Won't Close

When a foundation drops, the frames around your doors and windows shift with it. A door that suddenly needs a hard shove to close is telling you the structure has moved.

Porch or Stoop Pulling Away From the House

A gap between your front porch and the house means the porch footing has settled on its own. Left alone, that gap keeps growing and the porch keeps dropping.

Steel Foundation Piers That Stop Your Home From Sinking

Helical pier installation gives your home a new foundation — one that reaches all the way down to solid ground. Each pier is a steel shaft with spiral plates that screw deep into the earth. When the pier hits load-bearing soil, we bolt it to your footing and transfer the weight of your home onto ground that isn't going anywhere. This is the fix for homes that are sinking, cracking, and shifting.

Helical Pier Foundation Underpinning

Foundation underpinning with helical piers supports a settling home from below. We install piers along the affected walls, connect them to your footings with steel brackets, and lift the structure back toward level. The piers carry the load — not the problem soil that caused the settling in the first place.

Helical Piers for Porches and Additions

Porches, stoops, chimneys, and room additions often settle because they sit on shallow footings. Helical piers screw past the weak soil and anchor these lighter structures to stable ground — closing the gap between your porch and your house for good.

Our Process

How Helical Pier Installation Works

1

Foundation Inspection and Soil Assessment

We inspect your foundation, measure how far it has settled, and check the soil around your home. This tells us how many piers you need and how deep they need to go.

2
$0

Helical Pier Driven to Load-Bearing Soil

We dig small holes at each pier location and screw the steel piers into the ground with hydraulic equipment. Each pier is driven until it hits solid soil — confirmed by torque readings on every single pier.

3

Bracket Connection and Foundation Lifting

Steel brackets connect each pier to your footing. Once every pier is set, we use hydraulic jacks to carefully lift the settled part of your foundation back toward its original position.

4

Backfill, Cleanup, and Final Documentation

We backfill the work areas, clean up your property, and hand you full documentation — including a torque log for every pier and your warranty paperwork.

Why Choose Queen Foundation Repair

Helical piers are a permanent fix — but only when they're installed right. We use engineered steel pier systems with verified load capacities on every single pier. That means no guessing about whether your piers reached solid ground. You get a torque log for every pier we install, proving it hit the depth and resistance it needed to hold your home.

We don't cut corners on materials or method. Every pier is sized and spaced for your specific home and soil conditions. We dig down to the footing — not above it — so the load transfers correctly. And we give you a detailed written proposal before any work starts, so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs.

Your foundation holds up everything you care about. We treat it that way. From the first inspection to the final walkthrough, we explain what we're doing and why. No pressure. No surprises. Just honest work backed by a warranty you can count on.

Common Questions About Helical Pier Installation

How long do helical piers last?

Helical piers are a permanent solution. The coated steel shafts are built to last the life of your home. Once installed to proper torque in load-bearing soil, they don't settle, shift, or wear out. That's why they come backed by a long-term warranty.

What is the difference between helical piers and push piers?

Helical piers are screwed into the ground with a hydraulic motor. Push piers are driven down using the weight of the building as resistance. Helical piers work best for lighter structures, porches, additions, and new construction. Push piers are better for heavier homes where the building's weight can drive the pier to depth. We recommend the right method based on your home and soil conditions.

How deep do helical piers need to go?

It depends on where the stable soil is below your home. Helical piers are driven until they hit the right resistance, confirmed by torque readings during installation. That could be 15 feet or it could be 25 feet or more. The depth is based on real soil conditions — not a guess.

Can helical piers lift a settling foundation back to level?

Yes. Once the piers are installed and connected to your footing with steel brackets, we use hydraulic jacks to raise the settled section back toward its original position. The amount of lift depends on the structure and the damage, but in many cases we can bring the foundation close to level.

Is a helical pier warranty transferable to the next homeowner?

The best warranties in foundation repair are transferable. That means if you sell your home, the new owner is still protected. A transferable warranty can actually help your home's resale value — buyers feel confident knowing the work is guaranteed. Ask about warranty details during your free inspection.
