Foundation Problems Photo Album: Replace Support Posts Under Sunroom, Haverhill, MA
A homeowner in Haverhill, Massachusetts, had been living in their home since the late '90s. About 10 years ago they noticed that the post supporting their sunroom addition was sinking. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist recommended installing Helical Piers under the Sunroom.
Our production team began by removing the old sinking posts and setting up temporary posts so we could install the new Helical Piers. After the temporary posts were installed the team began installing the Helical Piers underneath the sunroom. The team used a hydraulic drive head to force the Helical Piers down into the ground until they reach high enough pressure to hold up the sunroom. Once the Helical Piers were pressurized to the correct PSI, the team then attached a bracket to the Helical Pier that allows for wooden support to be attached to the bracket. The team then attached the wooden support to the bottom of the sunroom and then to the bracket attached to the Helical Pier.
