Helical piles in Logan, Utah

Logan is in northern Utah, where mountain elevation affects frost depth. Salt Lake City's design criteria list a 30-inch frost depth and adopt the 2021 International Residential Code, and higher mountain towns can differ, so check the local table for Cache Valley.

Utah's residential code is the Utah Residential Code 2021, based on the 2021 IRC with state amendments. Helical piers are used for additions, accessory dwelling units, decks and ground-mount solar, with the engineer setting depth and installation torque.

Costs and what to ask

According to Foundation Repair HQ, helical piers typically cost about $2,000 to $4,000 each installed, with hand-digging adding $200 to $500 per pier. A Logan project will vary with depth to stable soil, pier count and access. Our fuller breakdown is in our helical pier cost guide.

Questions to put to any installer in Logan:

• Does an engineer review the site and stamp the pile design before work starts?
• Will you record installation torque pile by pile and hand me the logs?
• What shaft diameter and helix configuration do you propose, and is it galvanized?
• Do you handle the permit with the Logan building department, and what does the warranty cover?

Get written quotes from at least two companies and ask each to explain how the pier count and depth were determined.
