Helical piles—also known as screw piles or helical piers—are a proven, code-compliant solution for stabilizing and supporting homes, particularly in flood-prone and coastal areas. These galvanized steel anchors are mechanically screwed deep into the ground, transferring your home’s load to stable bearing soils below weak or shifting surface layers. Helical piles are widely used in FEMA-regulated flood zones and are well suited for both foundation repair and home elevation projects. Homes located in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) must meet FEMA and local building code requirements to reduce flood risk and qualify for flood insurance. This often means elevating the structure above Base Flood Elevation (BFE) and supporting it on foundations designed to resist scour, uplift, and lateral forces. Helical piles are commonly approved because they extend below unstable soils and provide reliable, code-compliant support. They provide immediate structural support with minimal disturbance to your property. Helical piles are frequently required or recommended in FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), where shallow foundations may not meet current code requirements.
