Helical piers have become the preferred foundation choice for decks.
Here are some of the reasons why:
Quick and Non-Intrusive Installation:
Helical piers can be installed quickly with minimal disruption to the landscape. This is particularly advantageous for deck construction, where homeowners often want to enjoy their outdoor space as soon as possible without enduring lengthy construction periods.
Adaptability to Various Soil Types:
Decks are often built in residential areas with diverse soil conditions. Helical piers, with their helical blades, can be easily screwed into various soil types, providing stability in areas with poor or variable soil conditions.
No Excavation Required:
Unlike traditional concrete footings that may require significant excavation, helical piers can be installed without the need for extensive digging. This not only reduces the environmental impact but also makes the installation process more straightforward.
Load-Bearing Capacity:
Helical piers are engineered to provide excellent load-bearing capacity. This is crucial for decks, especially in areas where decks need to support heavy furniture, hot tubs, or gatherings of people. The helical design ensures stability and prevents settling over time.
Year-Round Installation:
Helical piers can be installed year-round, regardless of weather conditions. This is advantageous for deck construction projects, as it allows for flexibility in scheduling and ensures that the project can proceed even in seasons when traditional construction methods might be hindered.
Cost-Effective Solution:
While the materiial cost of helical piers may be slightly higher than traditional footings, the overall cost-effectiveness becomes evident when considering the reduced labor and construction time as well as time spent on inspections and curing. Once helical piers are installed construction can begin immediately. This leads to a significant time and cost savings making them an attractive choice for builders and homeowners.
Environmentally Friendly:
Helical piers have a smaller environmental footprint compared to traditional concrete footings. The installation process generates less waste, and the minimal disruption to the site helps preserve the existing landscape.
Conclusion
Helical piers offer a range of advantages that make them the preferred foundation choice for decks. Their efficiency, adaptability, and environmental friendliness make them a reliable and cost-effective solution for ensuring a stable and long-lasting foundation for outdoor living spaces.
