You will need to have an engineer check the size of your piers and columns to be sure they will support another story. If they can, then yes. Also have the second story designed to make sure the bearings are put in the proper places.
Helical piers are used to provide a foundation support for various types of structures. Helical piers are mostly used when there is a soil problem prohibiting a structure from failing.

Leveling a house with piers is usually a job for an expert. The house may need to be raised with a jack in one place, then wooden shims must be fitted in between the floor and the piers. Each adjustment must be checked with a level to make sure it is done right.

I think this one is best left up to professionals. Being that the house is on piers, I think it would be a lot cheaper to raise and level as opposed to being on a basement or slab. The piers will allow the house movers to fish their steel I-beams underneath it much easier than other homes. The whole house needs to be raised simultaneously to avoid cracking walls and breaking windows. Hope this helps.
