Ben Bayless and Craig Williams, owners of Alabama Foundation Specialists and former owners of Drive Rite Piering Systems, have joined the Foundation Supportworks dealer network along with several other former Drive Rite dealers.
With offices in Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama Foundation Specialists has been Alabama’s leader in foundation stabilization for over 10 years. Regarding their recent transition, Ben Bayless said, “In addition to owning my own manufacturing company, I’ve worked with and installed products from three other helical pier manufacturers over the years. I thought I’d seen it all until I saw what was going on at Foundation Supportworks. Their products, training, and especially their marketing and sales support are like nothing else in the industry. After personally visiting their facility in Omaha, NE, Craig and I decided that we needed to become an FSI dealer. Our company has experienced steady growth over the past several years, and I’m confident that joining Foundation Supportworks will help us take Alabama Foundation Specialists to new heights.”
Along with the addition of Alabama Foundation Specialists, several other Drive Rite dealers have come on board and helped solidify FSI’s presence in the Southeast. Mike Wegman, Business Development Manager for FSI, said, “The new dealers that have transitioned to Foundation Supportworks have been most impressed with the sophisticated marketing programs that FSI offers. In addition to the products, our new customers are especially excited to hit the streets with more leads and better sales tools than they’ve ever had before”.
These new dealers help to further position Foundation Supportworks as a leader in the foundation stabilization industry as they bring their knowledge, experience and solid reputations to our network.

Years ago a company used Drive Rite 25033 & 25133 helical piers to raise my 3 car garage…successfully, It has never moved. A few years later, a different company installed Chance piers in an attempt to raise and level my home. The piers they used were small (about 2″ square) and they were unable to raise the house. Could you tell me what was the diameter of the large round Drive Rite piers and do you have anyone in eastern
Michigan that installs them?

Hi James,
The Drive-Rite piers you are referring to utilize a 2.875″ (2-7/8″) outside diameter and work very well for stabilizing and lifting residential structures. Foundation Supportworks manufactures these types of products and has contractors that install them throughout all of North America. The installing contractor we recommend in Eastern Michigan is Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM). You can find more information about FSM at this website address: http://www.foundationsupportworks.com/foundation-contractors/michigan/1585-foundation-systems-of-michigan.html
Let us know if you have any other questions! Take care.
