That's why we can't offer a "one size fits all" answer. Some companies will give "ballpark" prices, but this often leads to headaches down the road. If you'd like an accurate estimate of the cost of your helical pile foundation, get in touch with our team!

Helical piles are absolutely approved by engineers, both here in Manitoba and across the world. They have a place in international building codes and are an accepted foundation solution for residential, commercial, and industrial construction.

Unfortunately you cannot install a helical pile on your own. It's a technical process that demands skill and experience to do properly. An improperly-installed helical pile will be much more likely to fail or be inaccurate. Plus, you need equipment like a special drive to rotate the pile into the ground.
The best thing to do is work with an experienced and trustworthy contractor to ensure your foundation is installed safely and correctly.

The ultimate lifespan of a helical pile depends on several factors, such as moisture levels and soil corrosivity.
However, the Almita-brand piles we use at Glawson Piling are rated for a 50-year life, and could last far beyond that. There are structures in the world over 150 years old, still standing on a helical pile foundation.
