Clinton Twp

Helical piles in Clinton Twp, Michigan

Clinton Township builders deal with Michigan's glacial ground. The Michigan Geological Survey's overview says surface geology is dominated by glacial deposits, and conditions can shift from loose sand to heavier till or lake-bed material within a single county.

Winter sets the minimum depth. The Permits Guide reports that the 2015 Michigan Residential Code requires a 42-inch frost depth for deck footings across most of the state, although local officials can modify it. Helical shafts usually go deeper, to wherever torque shows competent bearing soil. Typical jobs include deck and porch footings, settled basements, garages and pole barns.
