All You Need to Know About Helical Piers

Have you noticed any structural damage to the foundation of your residential or commercial property, such as cracks in your basement walls? Is your property built on unstable soil? If your answers to these questions are yes, then you may need to install a helical pier. It’s a manufactured steel pin that is used for building and strengthening deep foundations. 

What Are the Types of a Helical Pier?
There are two types of helical piers: the square shaft and the round one. The former has a greater yield and tensile strength, so it is best for areas where tension forces are suspected. On the other hand, a round shaft helical pier is better at handling compression forces and maintaining lateral stability. For this reason, it is normally used in areas where compression is suspected.

How Much Will It Cost To Have a Helical Pier Installed?
Many home improvement referral companies say that the average cost of foundation repairs that use a helical pier can be between $5,000 and $15,000. However, the cost of a helical pier installation depends on many factors, such as the size of your property, site location, condition of foundation, and installation method. It would be best to ask your contractor for an estimate first to know how much you’ll have to pay.

How Long Does a Helical Pier Last?
Two main factors can affect the life expectancy of a helical pier: its quality and the condition of the soil where it will be installed. Low-quality piers will, of course, have a shorter life span. In normal soil conditions, the average life expectancy of a quality helical pier can reach up to 150 years.
