Helical piles in Taunton, Massachusetts

Taunton owners building or repairing homes will find the state's typical glacial mix of dense till, sand and fill. The state guide notes that frost-action potential in till soils affects development, and that till can hide boulders that stop a pier, in which case the design may need adjustment.

Helical piers are screwed in with hydraulic equipment and torque is tracked as each pier advances, so crews can confirm adequate bearing below weak surface soil. Typical Taunton jobs include sunrooms and additions tied into existing structures, deck footings below frost, and solar arrays. Confirm requirements with the town before work starts.

Costs and what to ask

Residential helical piers commonly run about $1,400 to $3,000 each installed, according to SlabLocal's cost guide, which also notes that excavation can add $200 to $500 per pier. Pricing in Taunton depends on how deep the bearing layer is, how many piers the design needs and how easily a crew can reach the work area. Our helical pier cost guide breaks down the factors. Questions worth asking any installer:

• Does an engineer stamp the design for a Taunton property, and what torque target must each pile reach?
• Can you see sample torque logs from earlier jobs before signing?
• What shaft diameter, number of helices and corrosion protection are included in the price?
• Will the installer handle permitting with Taunton, and what does the warranty cover?
