The Many Advantages of Helical Deck Piers
Foundation Support for Decks, Sunrooms, Porches and more.
When it comes to stabilizing a deck or small structure with a foundation, the traditional method involves lots of digging, lots of mixing cement, and lots of labor. Concrete piers are very labor intensive, are prone to failure, and can cost a contractor or homeowner days of work. Fortunately, today there is a great solution and alternative application, known as helical piers.
What are helical piers?
Helical piers, or piles, are steel piers engineered to be turned into the ground like a giant screw. Rotational resistance is measured as the pier is installed to ensure that the pier is solidly anchored in the soil. Often times, they are installed at depths well beyond the required 48 inches required by most cities throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
