A Stronger, Faster Foundation for Your Deck, Addition, or New Build.

 

About SPTech Helical Piers

If you’re planning to build a deck, home addition, sunroom, or new construction project, you’ll need a solid foundation — literally. Many homeowners assume that concrete footings are the only option. But there’s a better, faster, and longer-lasting alternative: helical piers.

What are helical piers?

Helical piers are galvanized steel posts that are mechanically screwed deep into the ground to support structures — without the need for concrete. They’re ICC-Certified, load-tested, and engineered to last.

You may have seen them used in large-scale commercial or industrial jobs, but they’re also ideal for residential projects in Minnesota and Wisconsin, especially in areas with freeze/thaw cycles, poor soil, or sloped yards.
