THERE IS NO BETTER FOUNDATION
For underpinning and support of existing buildings, suffering from movement and cracking, screw piers (screw piles) are a proven and guaranteed solution
In recent years, with the advancements in screw pier technology and installation techniques, screw piers on general building sites is the foundation system of choice because of the many advantages over traditional foundation methods – especially with the huge savings in time and cost.

Testimonials
The services provided by East Coast Screw Piers has been professional and reliable on every occasion.
In 2004 we engaged this company to provide structural support for an elevated swimming pool we had built at 7a Waniora Parkway, This pool has an infinity flow over edge, meaning the pool had to have 100% stability to ensure no movement hence maintaining a level flow over edge. We placed two piers under each reinforced concrete column to obtain desired support.
I would not hesitate in recommending East Coast Screw Piers.
