Tired of bouncy or sagging floors? Helitech’s Crawl Space Support Columns (HSCs) offer a permanent solution to stabilize your floors. Unlike traditional posts, HSCs are cut to fit and feature a heavy-duty, threaded top that securely transfers weight to the column, reinforcing existing beams and joists.
Each HSC rests on a compacted aggregate footing designed to absorb and evenly distribute loads from the support beam to the foundation. With Helitech’s HSC System, you’ll get effective and permanent repair solutions that will withstand the life of your home; this is our Helitech Promise.

Floors above crawl spaces are often affected by issues within the crawl space. Damp soil and moisture can weaken the ground around traditional support columns, causing settling and sagging floors. Poor support spacing or damage from moisture, insects, or wood rot in the crawl space can also lead to weakened beams and joists.
Rest assured; the Helitech Crawl Space Support Column System will immediately stabilize the sagging beams and floor joists in your crawl space, protect against the further movement, and ensure long-term structural integrity.
For the long-term success of any support column system, it is important to immediately address any drainage or water issues negatively affecting the crawl space. Helitech addresses moisture issues by recommending a drainage and encapsulation system. This combined approach reduces humidity’s impact.
Beyond bouncy or sagging floors, look for uneven floors, doors that stick or don’t close properly, cracks in interior walls or ceilings, and visible signs of wood rot or pest damage in the crawl space. These can all point to compromised floor joists or beams.
The duration of the installation process for Helitech’s Crawl Space Support Columns can vary depending on the size of your crawl space and the extent of the damage. Most installations are completed within one to three days, minimizing disruption to your home. A Helitech specialist can provide a more precise timeline during your free inspection.
Once installed, Helitech’s Crawl Space Support Columns require virtually no maintenance. They are designed to be a permanent solution. However, it’s crucial to continue addressing any moisture issues in your crawl space through proper drainage and encapsulation, as excessive moisture can still affect the wooden components of your home’s structure.
Yes, while primarily designed for sagging or bouncy floors, Helitech’s Crawl Space Support Columns also contribute to the overall structural integrity of your home. By stabilizing compromised beams and joists, they can indirectly help alleviate issues like sticking doors and windows, and even some types of foundation cracks that result from uneven settling.
