Helical Piles FAQ

What are helical piles?

Helical piles, also called screw piles, are steel shafts with screw-shaped plates welded near the tip. They are turned into the ground with a machine until they reach soil that can carry the load. The structure is then built on top of them instead of on poured concrete footings.

How much do helical piles cost in Thunder Bay?

The price depends on how many piles the project needs, the load each one has to carry, the soil conditions and how deep the piles have to go to reach firm ground. We give you a free estimate before any work starts.

Are helical piles better than concrete footings?

Helical piles go in quickly with little digging, can carry a load right away and there is no waiting for concrete to cure. They also work in cold weather and on tight or sloped sites. Concrete footings can still be the right choice for some projects, and we will tell you which suits yours.

Can helical piles be installed in winter?

Yes. Because there is no concrete to cure, helical piles can be installed through the winter in Thunder Bay. The piles are set below the frost line so frost heave does not move the structure.

What can be built on helical piles?

Decks, porches, pergolas, sunrooms, garages, cottages and home additions can all be built on helical piles. They are also used to support and level existing foundations that have settled.
