Helical piles offer quite a few advantages over 'traditional' poured concrete foundations.
● Can be installed much faster (sometimes in as little as one day) and reduce your construction time by over 90%● Much more adaptable to different soil conditions and can provide strong support even in loose or saturated areas ● Have a smaller environmental impact thanks to reduced material use, less-disruptive installation, and lower carbon emissions● Can be used to offer deep support to crawlspaces or basements, increasing their structural stability● Long lifespan (up to 75 years and beyond) keeps your home stable for generations to come● Extremely versatile - will readily adapt to modular, site-built, ready-to-move, mobile, and even tiny homes

Absolutely! A helical foundation can be used to support basements and crawlspaces, replacing the usual excavated concrete footers.
In fact, helical piles are a perfect solution for supporting crawlspaces/basements, as they provide a stable foundation that protects against shifting or movement.
This is particularly useful if you're building in an area with soft soils or artificial fill, as we can bypass weak layers to find firm anchoring in quality strata.

The installation of a helical pile foundation is a quick, smooth, and easy process.
It involves rotating each pile into the ground until the desired depth and torque are achieved. By monitoring torque, our team can ensure that every pile is installed to specifications.
Once the piles are installed, we can set the 'pile caps' on top to provide an easy transition to whatever type of foundation (i.e. beams, crawlspace, basement) your house requires.
Because this process doesn't require excavation, it minimizes site disruption, soil displacement, and land prep. That means your foundation is ready to use immediately after installation - and in record time.

This probably won't be the answer you want, but, it depends! The cost of your helical pile foundation is influenced by the overall design, pile size, and number of piles required.
That said, generally speaking, you'll find a helical foundation tends to be more cost-effective overall when compared to other solutions. Even though the per-pile cost can be higher with helicals than concrete, the expedited timelines and smooth installation will save money across your project.
