Sinking Entryway Slab Stabilized with Helical Piers in Advance, NC

This homeowner in Advance, NC began noticing signs of foundation settlement around their entryway slab, including uneven concrete, separation near the doorway, and soil erosion along the foundation. These symptoms often point to unstable or shifting soil beneath the slab, which can cause sections of the home’s exterior to sink over time.

To provide a permanent solution, our team installed helical piers beneath the affected area. These steel piers are driven deep into stable, load-bearing soil to bypass weak surface layers responsible for the settlement. By transferring the weight of the structure to more reliable ground, the piers help stabilize the slab and prevent further movement.

Once installation was complete, the area was backfilled and restored, leaving a clean, seamless finish. With helical piers in place, this entryway is now supported by a strong, long-lasting foundation giving the homeowner peace of mind and protection against future settlement.
