- No soil/concrete spoils to deal with or remove
- Helical piers reflect the soil strength parameters as they are installed (foot-pounds of torque is monitored)
- Helical piers do not rely on the weight of a structure to be installed as push piers require.
- Piers are high strength galvanized steel that are resistant to corrosion.
- Bolt on extensions are added for additional depth as needed.
- Life-of-structure warranty for residential underpinning
