Advantages Fast Installation.

With little preparation or cleanup required Immediate load bearing capacity.

Unlike concrete footings, the screw-anchors can be loaded immediately after installation Minimal ground disturbance.

As the posts do not displace the soil during installation.

The ground in which they are put into is not disturbed leaving the soil more stable Load Capacity Verification.

During installation the torque is monitored and recorded.

This indicates the soil condition in which the pilings are installed and indicated how much weight the screw pile can hold Increase Load Capacity.

In the field if the required installation torque is not met, helical plates or piling extensions can be added.

Going deeper with extensions or adding helical plates can increase the torque to meet the engineering specifications No Frost Heaving.

As all metal posts are installed well below the frost line with the load bearing helical plate typically at the deepest point.

Screw piles are resistant to frost heaving No excavating.

Because the posts simply twist into the soil there is no requirement to dig or drill any holes.

This saves time and money The use of ground screws in fence construction has been a widely accepted practice for more than a decade, yet the use of ground screws for decks has not been as well embraced.

However, these innovative products offer significant advantages over conventional piles & posts or pad and post systems.

They have evolved considerably in recent years, with a wider array of types and widths.

This day and age homeowners have many choices when faced with a structural foundation problem.

The choices include helical piles, push piers, helical tie-back anchors and plate anchors.

Each one of these solutions should only be implemented under the supervision of a qualified engineer and foundation repair contractor.

This article is the forth installment of the Foundation Repair Guidelines for Homeowners series.

The first three articles covered information on structural repair, site analysis, foundation repair proposals, preventing foundation damage, and basement leaks.

Part one of this article discussed the importance of ground water management, not only as essential to a complete foundation repair plan, but as a proactive approach to preventing foundation damage and basement seepage from occurring.

The foundation of your home would be considered as the most crucial part of the entire house.

It carries the responsibility of shouldering the entire load weight of your home.

Having a problem with the foundation can cause damage to your home, lessen its value and puts your safety at risk.

Foundation repair is the most complicated and the most expensive type of repair your home will ever need.

This is the reason why so many people go to school to get training specifically to become a foundation repair contractor.
