Rochelle Park

Helical piles in Rochelle Park, New Jersey

Rochelle Park is a dense, older northern New Jersey community where narrow side yards and finished backyards limit heavy equipment. Helical piles are screwed in with compact hydraulic machines, which avoids large excavations when underpinning settled homes and additions.

Per the USGS fact sheet, Piedmont soils are steeper, thinner and clayey, and glaciers left mixed sand, silt and clay in the northern valleys. Permits Guide notes that the state adopted the 2021 International Residential Code, New Jersey Edition, and most deck and foundation work needs a construction permit.
