Techno Metal Post of Seattle

Techno Metal Post of Seattle is the Techno Metal Post dealer at 7713 29th St W in University Place, Washington, with David Blinn listed as the contact on the manufacturer's dealer page. Techno Metal Post is a Quebec-founded maker of screw piles with dealers across North America.

As a dealer in that network, the company installs Techno Metal Post helical piers for projects such as decks and porches, additions, homes and cottages, and garages and carports. The manufacturer's site also covers commercial work and publishes engineering services, technical documents and certification and evaluation information for professionals. Helical piers are driven into the soil with hydraulic equipment rather than set in poured concrete footings.

Homeowners and builders around University Place, Tacoma and the greater Puget Sound area can contact the dealer at 206-304-7535. The dealer page does not state a service radius, so confirm coverage when you call. Good questions to ask include the pile diameter and length for your soil, the torque readings recorded at install, whether an engineering letter is available for permits, and who handles the permit paperwork.
