Helical Pier for Deck Footings : Best Deck Foundation

 With proper installation, Helical Piers makes low maintenance, sturdy, and extremely durable decks. These steel rods when grounded deeply beneath your deck will help in bearing the weight of your deck.
With this, your deck will remain firm and stable, no matter the weather conditions. Your deck will also have the capacity to bear more weight, especially when you need to entertain guests on your backyard deck.
Here are more reasons why Helical Piers are the best for your deck foundation.

​Easy Installation
Using a hydraulic torque machine, your deck contractor will drive the helical piers into position. This means your deck’s foundation will be complete in a shorter time compared to a concrete deck foundation.
Can Work in Most Soil Conditions
Whether your home has wet soil or frozen soil, helical piers will work perfectly.  

Eco-Friendly
When installing helical piers, the deck contractor will not have to remove lots of soil. This means that the area surrounding the deck will get minimal disturbance.
The installation is also quieter which means less noise pollution throughout the installation process. Even better, you can leave your helical piers on the ground for years and then, remove and reuse them when creating a new deck.

​Works Perfectly for Both Existing Deck and New Deck

 Instead of using a concrete slab, your deck contractor in Ogden can install helical piers. The contractor can also add helical piers to your existing deck which helps to safely correct foundational damages.
Adding helical piers to your deck will also make your deck last longer which amounts to great savings long-term.


Less Labor-Intensive
When using helical piers for your foundation, you won’t have to dig the foundation, remove debris, lay the concrete, and more. All you’ll need is a drilling machine to safely place the helical piers on the ground.
Looking at the labor requirements and the cost of concrete, you’ll be saving more by installing helical piers.
More Affordable

Because helical piers are easier to transport you’ll save money on transportation costs. The installation process is also faster and more affordable which means lower installation costs.
And after the installations, you only need minimal cleanup and will need no maintenance to keep the system in shape. Even better, you can re-use the helical piers which makes them more economical and environmentally friendly.
Excellent Precision
When constructing the foundation of your deck, accuracy is key which is what helical piers offer. When installing, the deck contractor will use handheld equipment that allows accuracy when digging.
The contractor will know exactly where to dig, the amount of resistance, and when to stop digging.
Fast Cleanup
