Helical Piers for Permanent Foundation Support
Foundation settlement often begins with the soil beneath your home. In Texas, our clay-rich and sandy soils are especially prone to shrinking when dry and swelling when wet. This constant movement places stress on your foundation, often leading to cracks in walls, uneven floors, and doors that no longer close properly. Left untreated, these issues only get worse and more expensive.
At Baird Foundation Repair, we know how important it is to address foundation settlement at the source. That’s why we install helical piers, a proven solution designed to permanently stabilize structures. Helical piers are screwed into stable soil, providing reliable support for new construction in areas with poor soil. They are also ideal for structures that aren’t typical houses—such as porches, decks, and additions—where traditional foundation solutions may not be practical.
As a family-owned and operated company, we take pride in fixing foundation problems the right way, the first time. We proudly serve homeowners in San Antonio, Houston, Austin, and Corpus Christi, where expansive soils make reliable foundation repair a necessity.
Why Choose Helical Piers?
At Baird Foundation Repair, we install Supportworks® Helical Pier Systems, designed for strength under heavy loads, versatility across challenging soil conditions, and the assurance of being engineer-tested and backed for long-term reliability—even in areas with high water tables or soft soils common to San Antonio, Houston, Corpus Christi, and Austin.
Advantages of Helical Piers
Foundation helical piers are a trusted method for stabilizing settling structures. Helical piers offer a variety of benefits:
- Backed by warranties – Every installation comes with a warranty on both materials and workmanship.
- Built to last – Made from galvanized steel that resists rust and corrosion.
- Strong design – Round-shaft piers provide extra resistance to bending and shifting.
- Great for lighter structures – An ideal option where steel push piers may not be suitable.
- Independent strength – Unlike other systems, helical piers don’t rely on your home’s weight to reach stable soil.

- Independent strength – Unlike other systems, helical piers don’t rely on your home’s weight to reach stable soil.
How Are Helical Piers Installed?
Helical piers are steel foundation supports with helical (screw-like) blades that are mechanically advanced into deep, load-bearing soil. Unlike push piers, helical piers do not require the weight of the structure for installation, making them ideal for both heavy and light structures.
Excavation: Our team removes soil around the foundation where the piers will be placed.
Pier Installation: Using hydraulic equipment, we “screw” each helical pier into the ground until it reaches stable, load-bearing strata.
Bracket Attachment: Heavy-duty steel brackets are secured to your foundation footings to transfer the home’s weight onto the piers.
Lift and Backfill: The structure is carefully lifted or stabilized, and the dirt is backfilled for a clean finish.
These piers transfer the weight of your home from unstable surface soil to stronger soil layers deep below, effectively stopping settlement and even lifting your home back to its original position.
The Importance of a Permanent Fix
Foundation settlement is not a cosmetic issue—it’s a structural one. Ignoring it can lead to worsening damage, including severe wall cracks, misaligned doors and windows, plumbing issues, and even structural failure.
By investing in a helical pier system, you’re choosing a permanent foundation repair solution designed to last a lifetime. Our pier systems come backed with a transferable warranty, so you can rest easy knowing your home is protected now and for years to come.
Stop settlement before it spreads. Contact Baird Foundation Repair today to schedule a free inspection and see if helical piers are the right solution for your home.

We selected Baird because we heard from Realtors and insurance agents that they were the best for foundation repair. We have extensive repairs with new piers and beams and have been entirely satisfied with their work. Our crew this week has been Michael, Zae, and Rene, and they have been helpful in explaining the repairs and also preserving our shrubs. Baird's own engineer and the City of Alamo Heights' engineer approved the design and the work. Already, interior doors that were stuck have come unstuck.

Yes, I am giving 5 stars out of 5. We called Baird Foundation Repair few days ago (on Thursday) because we were interested in getting our driveway fixed and we needed multiple estimates and this company was one of them. Kyle Toups came to do the estimate and boy, like I was telling him about many stories about how we had to go through many "incompetent" workers in the past just recently, he was very REFRESHING to have to come to talk to because he explained everything in DETAIL unlike the others. Every question I asked, he explained in a way that we could understand and surely, I definitely learned 'a lot' of information from him. From my experience, it is hard to find a person like him who is honest, factual, detailed, and convincing at the same time. I would like to tell Baird Foundation Repair that the man needs a raise or promotion for his professionalism. What a refreshing feeling it is to have a competent person to ask a question and to talk to. Thanks again to him (if he is reading) and these are all of my honest opinions and experience. Thanks again.

Baird Foundation is truly at the top of their game. Kyle came out to do our quote and was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to talk to. From start to finish, the experience was consistent, professional, and reassuring across the entire company. They even work alongside engineers; unlike every other company we had out. Kyle took the time to explain everything, and made sure we actually understood what was going on instead of trying to sell us something. The entire experience felt honest and pressure-free. You can tell this company is consistent from top to bottom and genuinely cares about their customers, and doing things the right way. We felt heard and respected throughout the process. 100/10 recommend!!!

Now really who wants to pay a lot of money to fix a foundation because it has settled? Not me! But life gives you a slap every now and then, and you just have to deal with it.
After doing some research on foundation slab leveling I decided to give Baird a call and set up an appointment to get more information and an estimate for the repair. To be honest,I was shocked by the price, but I'm also not the type of person to let a problem go unaddressed just to become a disaster later. Jumping forward to the day of installation... The crew showed up on time and they started setting up ther work area. Jesus Garcia introduced himself to me and explained what was going to happen and even asked if I wanted to see them push he peirs in later. Of course I did! I had a couple of questions and he was happy to answer them. So Jesus, Zach Haden, and Albert Sierra got to work. Wow! They are an efficient crew. They had their tools laid out and ready so they weren't constantly going to the truck or searching around to find where it was laid down. They were all working and with the exception of a short lunch break, never stopped. The only thing left to do for the next day was to have their work inspected by a 3rd party and backfill the holes. By the time they were done you can't tell anything was really done. They did a great job from beginning to end and made the damage all be disappear.
Thanks Baird and crew!

Both med were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and answered our many questions without hesitation. They represented Baird well, and as a result, we would highly recommend and use Baird again.

I had a few companies inspect my foundation to see if it was the cause of some interior wall issues. As I suspected, all confirmed the foundation was fine, though one company did exaggerate “probable issues” and pushed for immediate action.
Baird Foundation sent Kyle out to inspect our home, and the experience was completely different. He was respectful, kind, honest, and never tried to sell us something we didn’t need. He clearly explained the minimal foundation changes and provided a layout that was easy to understand and very helpful.
Eventually I will level the home as preventative maintenance. Baird Foundation will be my first call when that time comes—specifically because of Kyle. His honesty and professionalism are exactly what I was looking for, and Baird delivered.

As a homeowner there seems to be a never-ending list of things to remodel and or repair. My wife and I finally got to working on the driveway. Time had taken its toll. There were cracks and uneven areas. We had both replacement and repair quotations.
After the quotes were in we evaluated the value for the money. We decided to have a repair done. Of the repair companies Baird seemed the best choice for us.
The repair crew consisting of Ms. Valerie Valenzuela and Mr. Aaron Meredith showed up at the arranged date and time. Throughout the entire process they were extremely professional and competent. We did do an adder to the project by adding a stain to the repaired concrete. Ms. Valenzuela wrote a change order and a new date was set for completion. Again on time and great work.

We had extensive work done to replace joists and base plates under our 92 year old house. The entire team was professional and paid close attention to detail throughout the job. It started with our sales rep, Brandon, and continued on through the crew that came to do the work. The crew was led by Juan and supported by Carlos and Israel, along with the rest of the crew doing the work. I could not be more pleased with the work they did and would highly recommend Baird for any pier and beam foundation work.
