There are many advantages to starting off on a solid foundation with galvanized steel screw piles.

In just a few short hours your foundation can be installed, laser-leveled to the desired height, and ready for immediate loading. Engineered and Building Code Approved for use across Canada since 1995, Postech has created the only insulated Thermal Pile® on the market. This patented internal insulation allows Postech Windsor to offer unparalleled product guarantees against frost-heave.
A deck built on Postech Screw Piles will keep the wood framing dry, ensuring the structure doesn’t rot at ground level. If the deck is being attached to your home with a ledger board, it’s important the right steps are taken to ensure your deck doesn’t move or pull the ledger board away. If moisture and water get behind the ledger board due to deck movement, it can result in structural damage to your home! The proper flashing can be used (depending on the material your home is constructed with) to keep any moisture from getting between the ledger board and your home, but the primary and most important solution to prevent movement of the ledger is to start from the ground up with Postech Screw Piles. Once the piles are installed, Postech Windsor’s certified installers supply an installation report indicating achieved capacities based on Engineered Torque VS Capacity Charts. Our specialized equipment monitors hydraulic pressure and torque, ensuring each and every pile we install meets the design loads of your project. We will actually indicate exact load capacity of each pile on our pile report which the customer and/or building inspector will receive.
