RESIDENTIAL SOLUTIONS

FOUNDATION STABILIZATION WITH SCREW PILES

Your deck, cottage, or shed is sinking or shifting? Postech screw piles lift it back to level in a matter of hours, permanently, without excavating your yard or damaging your property.

THE CHALLENGE

When Your Foundation Starts to Move

Frost heave is the most common foundation problem in Canada.

Every winter, the ground freezes and expands. Every spring, it thaws and contracts.

Over years, that cycle pushes footings out of position, cracks concrete, tilts structures, and leaves your deck, shed, or cottage visibly off-level.

Traditional repairs mean replacing concrete footings, re-pouring, or excavating. Most require heavy equipment, multiple days of disrupted access, and weeks of wait time before you can build on the repaired surface.

And without addressing the root cause, the same movement will happen again.

THE SOLUTION

How Postech Stabilizes Existing Structures

Postech screw piles can be installed directly under an existing deck, shed, or cottage in a single day, without removing the structure above.

Our certified installers use compact equipment that fits through a standard 36-inch gate opening, with no excavation required.

The helical pile is screwed into the soil below the frost line, typically 5 to 8 feet deep, until it reaches stable, load-bearing ground. The existing footings are then jacked, levelled, and connected to the new piles.

Because Postech screw piles always reach below the frost line, the freeze-thaw cycle that caused the original movement no longer affects your foundation. The repair is permanent.

FAQ

Common Questions About Screw Pile Foundation Stabilization

Everything you need to know about screw pile foundation stabilization.

Yes. Postech screw piles are regularly installed under existing decks, cottages, and sheds without removing the structure above.

Our compact equipment accesses the site through standard gate openings as narrow as 36 inches. Most repairs are completed in a single day.

Installation depth depends on soil conditions and load requirements, but piles are typically driven 5 to 8 feet deep, always below the frost line, until they reach stable, load-bearing ground.

Your certified Postech installer will assess site conditions before work begins and confirm the required depth.

Postech screw piles always extend below the frost line, the layer of soil that freezes and moves each winter.

This means that once they are installed at the correct depth, they are unaffected by seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. The movement that caused the original damage cannot repeat.

Permit requirements vary by municipality.

In most residential cases, foundation repair with screw piles does not require a permit, but your local Postech installer can confirm what applies in your area before any work begins.

Cost depends on the number of piles required, soil conditions, and the size of the structure. Postech stabilization is typically significantly less expensive than full concrete replacement, with no excavation costs and no curing delays.

Request a free quote from your local installer for an accurate estimate specific to your project.

Yes. All Postech installations are backed by a written warranty covering movement caused by frost for the lifetime of the piles - a miminum of 75 years in the harshest environments.

Ask your local installer for full warranty terms before work begins.
