Design Builders uses helical piers because they provide a superior foundation solution for many projects. Here’s why they’re our go-to choice: - Strength & Reliability: Helical piers offer a stable, long-lasting foundation, even in areas with poor soil or variable ground conditions. - Quick Installation: They can be installed rapidly, often with minimal disruption to your landscaping or existing structures. - Performs in Difficult Sites: Helical piers work well where traditional concrete footings may not—such as on hillsides, in soft or wet soil, or close to trees. - Year-Round Buildability: Unlike poured concrete, helical piers can be installed in most weather conditions, even during winter. - Quality Assurance: Installation torque and depth can be measured to ensure each pier is secure and up to engineering standards. Choosing helical piers helps us deliver deck, porch, and addition projects with enhanced structural stability and project flexibility.
