Dayne Ausmus installs Postech screw piles, known in the US as helical piles or helical piers, across Grand Rapids and West Michigan.
He is a licensed Michigan residential builder who ran renovation and property maintenance crews before joining the Postech network, so he shows up already fluent in what gets built on top of the foundation.
West Michigan ground is mostly loamy sand. Easy to dig, easy to misjudge. Footings here have to sit below a frost line that runs about 42 inches deep, and near the lakeshore or the inland lakes you are often working over fill, a high water table, or a slope nobody wants to excavate.
Each Postech helical pile is driven until it reaches a verified installation torque, then anchored past the frost line. Capacity gets measured on your lot rather than assumed from a soil map.
Most residential projects go in within a day. No excavation, no concrete cure time, no rutted yard. You get engineered drawings for your permit application, a certified installation, and Postech's written lifetime warranty against structural failure and corrosion.
Decks, additions, three-season rooms, pole barns, cottages, docks, boardwalks, solar arrays, generator pads. Your project is not on the list? Just call and describe it.
