Hubbell Power Systems Leverages Chance Helical Piles to Elevate Homes in Flood Zone

Chance Helical Piles, manufactured by Hubbell Power Systems, Inc., have proven to be an effective solution for Home Elevation in coastal regions, the Company announced.

In a release, Hubbell Power Systems said that now, any coastal homeowner who resides within an A or V flood zone can avoid moving their home to repair and elevate it. Chance Helical Piles will withstand a future storm surge and securely support the weight of a home without any concern of shifting or collapse due to debris impact or corrosion.

The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) reported more than $7.7 billion in payments to policy holders. For many, the road to repair has been an exhausting path of trial and error. Maps are still waiting to be finalized and homeowners are turning to engineers, architects and foundation repair installers to provide them with the most durable solution available.

Homeowner Barry Wintle details his experience: "We consulted our Structural Engineer, and he referred us to Helical Pier Technology. We did some research; found out about Chance... we were sold almost instantaneously."

Engineering Manager Gary Seider has worked for many years developing the training program for Chance Installers. He said," We have the largest installation network for pre-manufactured steel foundation products with the most rigorous certification process. Not only do we require the installers to re-certify on a regular basis, we require them to prove the level of their knowledge through testing and field demonstration. The relationship that we have across North America within the construction industry is unmatched. For many homeowners, CHANCE brand Helical Piles become the unseen heroes when it comes to foundation stabilization."
