Why Use Screw Piles

Screw pile uses

What are screw piles used for?

Curious about what screw piles can do for your construction projects? Screw piles offer a dependable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of residential and commercial needs.

More and more people are looking for a ways to affordably obtain their home or cottage dream.

  • Screw piles are not only good for small and medium projects, they can be used as a permanent foundation for all builds.
  • Professionally installed screw piles offer a long-lasting, mortgageable solution, turning your construction into a smart and achievable investment.

Building a deck goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about establishing a strong foundation capable of withstanding environmental factors, regular usage, and heavy loads such as furniture, BBQs, and snow accumulation.

  • Screw piles provide essential strength, ensuring stability, durability, and safety for your deck.
  • Screw pile footers can be installed quickly and built on immediately.

Cape Breton is less than ideal when it comes to solid, level ground that lasts the tests of time. 

  • Screw piles offer the strength needed in retaining walls to prevent soil erosion and make uneven or sloping areas usable.
  • Screw piles are perfect for hard-to-reach spots and minimize disruption to existing landscaping and infrastructure.
  • Surrounded by uneven terrain and erosion, screw piles can provide a solid solution without the need for excavation and other below-grade solutions.

Old foundations often show their age with cracks and sagging.

  • Screw piles offer a strong footing used to correct and stabilize a sagging addition/ porch/ deck or even a full building, permanently!
  • Screw piles provide a durable solution that effectively prevents further movement and damage.
Screw Pile Perks

What are the benefits of screw piles?

Screw Piles offer superior advantages over traditional foundation/support solutions.

  • Screw piles provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods like professionally installed concrete footings or frost walls.
  • With screw piles, you get a fast and efficient engineered solution, resulting in reduced project timelines.
  • Scotia Screw Piles offers a Cape Breton-based solution in a matter of days, not months.
  • Unlike traditional concrete foundations or sono tube installations, screw piles don’t require setting time, allowing for immediate building.
  • Installation of screw piles maintains a clean site, avoiding the need for excavating and disposal of extracted soil.
  • Minimal noise and vibrations are produced during installation, minimizing disruption to neighboring ground, structures, and wildlife.
  • Screw piles provide stable footing in challenging ground conditions such as loose or sandy soil, and near watersheds.
  • Screw piles are constructed of hot-dipped galvanized steel, offering a long-life galvanized solution with little or no movement.
  • Screw piles provide durable support, preventing issues like sagging flooring, wall cracks, and drainage problems in loose or difficult soil.
  • CCMC certification is rated on a 50-60 year life, however, the possibility for a 100+ year lifespan is totally feasible.
