Stop the Damage
with Helical PierĘ Foundation Systems |
| Chance Helical PierĘ
Foundation Systems offer a technically superior and cost-effective
alternative to other remedial systems. Our patented stabilizing
system is backed by more that 80 years of structural engineering
experience. |
|
The concept is founded on the
principle of turning a screw anchor into stable subsoil strata
until the torque applied indicates that the necessary load
capacity has been achieved. Adjustable brackets are then
attached to the base of your foundation walls, connecting the
screw anchors to the foundation. The weight of your home is
then shifted to the screw anchors. In the process,
foundations, walls and floors are reposited and retained from
further movement. |

This innovative system contrasts with
other methods which use the structure's weight to force pipes down
into the ground. Pipe-pile or skin-friction systems (without helix
plates on the shafts) can involve costly and time-consuming
construction methods. Due to the extensive excavation they require,
site features such as walkways and landscaping are often disturbed.
Helical Pier Foundation Systems may be installed only by contractors
who have been certified by the Chance Company. The load-bearing
steel shafts are screwed into the ground independent of the
structure and their bearing or holding capacity is verified as the
system is installed.
