Our services

Helical Piers specialises in providing strong, reliable foundations for new builds and structural repairs.

Our screw piling, piering and underpinning solutions are designed for durability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness; ensuring your project is built on solid ground.

01

screw piling

Screw piling is the modern solution for foundations in both residential and commercial projects. Using steel piers with helix-shaped blades, we screw them deep into the ground to create a stable base for your structure.



Fast, efficient, and less invasive than traditional methods, screw piling works with nearly all soil types, offering long-term strength for any new build, renovation, or foundation repair.

FAQ'S

SCREW PILING

How does

screw piling work?

Screw piles are steel shafts with helical plates that are screwed into the ground, creating a solid base for your structure. It's a quick, efficient method that causes minimal disruption to your site.

Is screw piling suitable

for all soil types?

Sure is! Screw piling works in almost any soil; whether it's clay, sandy soil, or even rocky ground. It's a versatile solution for both residential and commercial builds.

Do I need an engineer for screw piling?

Yes. We work closely with engineers to make sure the screw piling solution is designed for your specific project. They’ll ensure it meets the building’s load requirements, giving you peace of mind.

How long does

screw piling take?

Screw piling is much quicker than traditional methods. Most jobs are wrapped up in a day, depending on site conditions and project specifics.

screw piering

Screw piering is ideal for stabilising and lifting existing structures. By installing screw piles beneath the foundation, we can lift and level your building, correcting issues like subsidence or shifting.

This non-disruptive method ensures your building stays level and secure without the need for costly excavation.

underpinning

03

Noticed cracks in your walls, sinking floors, or signs of movement? You might be dealing with subsidence and underpinning is the fix.

At Helical Piers, we stabilise compromised foundations by drilling beneath your existing slab to reach solid, load-bearing ground.

Underpinning is the process in which we drill under your existing slab down to an appropriate depth to ensure your foundation is now bearing on stable ground. It’s a reliable solution for homes and buildings affected by unstable soil, structural changes, or natural wear over time.

With over 30 years of experience and trusted by builders across NSW, we deliver underpinning that’s fast, precise, and built to last, with minimal disruption to your site.

UNDERPINNING

FAQ'S

How do I know if I require underpinning?

Determining the need for underpinning involves observation of significant structural changes in your brick walls or concrete slabs. If you notice any substantial and visible cracking, this is a clear indicator that underpinning is necessary. We emphasise the importance of a professional assessment to accurately diagnose any structural issues. 

How long does underpinning take?

The duration of underpinning largely depends on the scope and scale of the project. Typically, the process can take anywhere from 1-5 days, varying according to the size and complexity of the job. Rest assured, regardless of the project's size, our commitment is to deliver top-notch workmanship in restoring the structural integrity of your property efficiently and effectively.

Can I remain in the house?

Yes, you can comfortably remain in your house while we complete the underpinning process. We prioritise your safety and convenience, taking every measure to ensure that you can continue your daily activities without significant interference.

Do I need council approval?
