On average, helical piers cost around $30 per linear foot, which means a typical 20-foot pier runs about $600. However, this is a very general estimate, as costs can vary significantly depending on:
For example, larger diameter Hercules Piles™, capable of supporting up to 1 million pounds, will cost more than smaller, residential-grade piles. Similarly, a project in soft, wet, or corrosive soils may require deeper piles or specialized coatings, increasing overall cost.
At first glance, helical piers may seem more expensive than concrete footings, but when you factor in:
In other words: You save money by doing it right the first time.
There are a few ways to get pricing on helical, whether you have a current job, or have an idea of what you may need for a potential project give us a call! We can get you pricing right away so you can start estimating and bidding on projects!
Yes! PierTech offers a helical installer certification seminar once a month. There are no requirements to be completed prior to the course, you could be a beginner in the industry, or have several years experience. This course will teach you all you need to know to get the project done safely, and correctly! Addressing foundation issues promptly is crucial to prevent escalated problems and increased costs.
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.
Concrete slabs might be cheaper upfront, but they come with risks like cracking, soil movement, and water issues. Helical piers offer a longer-lasting, more reliable solution—especially in poor soil conditions.
