Helical piles in Pleasantville, New Jersey

Pleasantville is in southern New Jersey's coastal region, where the state guide describes sandy soils and shallow groundwater. The state guide notes that designers account for groundwater and for corrosion exposure near salt water, which makes coating and shaft specification worth discussing with any installer.

Helical piles are screwed in with compact hydraulic equipment, so crews can work in narrow side yards and finished backyards in dense older neighbourhoods. Common projects include decks, additions, elevated homes and detached garages on poor or filled soil. Almost all structural work needs a construction permit, and many towns also require zoning approval.
