In the long run a helical pier foundation will be cheaper. These products are meant to last a lifetime. When building on top of concrete there is a chance of settlement, sinking, and much more that can cause foundation failure. Doing the job right the first time is much more cost-effective. Foundation repairs are essential to prevent further damage and costs, and helical piers offer a durable solution. Helical piers are driven below the frost line, providing a stable foundation. The helical pier installation process can be impacted by soil conditions, such as rocky soil and water table levels. A typical 20-foot helical pier weighs approximately 130 pounds and has a load capacity of around 500 tons or more. Helical piers work by being driven into the soil to provide a firm, unshifting foundation, making them effective for both residential and commercial construction. Helical piles are compared to other types of piers, highlighting their use in areas with deep bedrock or sandy soil. The number of piers installed and their cost can vary depending on the project requirements. Helical piers are beneficial in repairing foundations due to their resistance to water damage and frost heave. Steel piers are another option, especially in rocky soil, but helical piers offer more durability. Helical piers are all-steel foundation solutions, similar to steel poles, providing robust support. Steel push piers can extend up to 200 feet and are compared to helical piers for their ability to reach bedrock.
