EZ Post Helical Deck Piers- The Ideal Solution

Monday, July 1st, 2013 by Jen Fox

Deck Piers

Are you building a deck, patio, sunroom, or addition? Before going any further, you owe it to yourself to learn more about Adirondack Basement Systems' EZ Post Helical Deck Pier System!

Adirondack basement Systems has been installing large commercial and residential piering jobs for several years, but recently we have acquired the necessary machinery to be able to install helical deck piers just about anywhere! EZ Post Helical Deck Piers are supplied by Foundation Supportworks and backed by a 25 year, rock solid warranty.

The standard practice of installing poured concrete piers for decks, porches, sunrooms, and similar structures has caused plenty of frustration of the years-

- Holes can't be dug and concrete piers can't be poured in rainy or freezing weather.

- Post base hardware must be carefully placed in the top of the pier while the concrete is still wet. Construction is delayed while the concrete hardens.

- Shallow concrete footings can be prone to shifting that can cause significant damage to your structure.

- And (worst of all) when a concrete pier is mistakenly installed off the layout grid, you've wasted a significant amount of time and money!

EZ Post Helical Deck Piers manufactured by Foundation Supportworks will eliminate all of the frustrations mentioned above and is reasonably priced at $200 per standard post! EZ Posts provide support to a wide variety of structures such as decks, sunrooms, additions, pergolas, mobile homes, storage buildings, and more. Whether you are working on an existing structure that is settling, or if you are building something new, EZ Posts are the ideal solution for providing long-term stabilization. In addition to offering the utmost strength and stability, EZ Posts offer many other benefits over traditional concrete footings.Installations can be completed year-round, even in sub-zero temperatures, with no waiting time for concrete to cure. EZ Posts are also installed deeper than traditional concrete footings, making them less susceptible to changing moisture content in the soil. They are installed with portable equipment which means there is almost no disturbance to the lawn and landscaping and they can be installed in areas with tight access.
