Frequently asked questions

Why should I use helical (screw) piles for houses or buildings over other foundation systems?

There are 2 types of foundations that can be used for homes: spread footing/foundation wall (or frost wall) and concrete slab-on-grade. helical (screw) piles can be used to support both the concrete and the home, above grade. Using our calibrated installation equipment, we install the piles at a minimum depth to a specific torque. With the information obtained from the installation equipment, we know the exact compression and tension capacity of each pile. We then encase the pile head with the concrete footing or concrete slab to ensure the concrete will not settle or crack over time, which is often the case when piles are not used.

What are the advantages of using helical (screw) piles vs concrete for houses or buildings?

  • Guaranteed pile capacity calculated
  • No risk for cracking as foundation settles over time, whereas concrete will always have the risk of settling and cracking
  • Removable and reusable system
  • No delays between the end of the installation and the beginning of work
  • Perfectly level structure

How many screw piles do I need for the installation of houses or buildings?

10-25

What are the different types of home or building foundations?

Do I need footings for this type of application?

YES/NO
We can install a home on piles alone, however, some areas still require a spread footing even though piles are used.
