Solid, Level Support for Hot Tubs & Small Outbuildings

Planning to install a hot tub, shed, or small outbuilding? The foundation beneath it matters. At Screw Pile Installers, we provide helical pile foundations that deliver unbeatable stability, fast installation, and long-term performance—ideal for everything from backyard spas to garden sheds across British Columbia and Alberta.
Whether you’re building on clay, sand, slopes, or frost-prone terrain, our screw piles provide unmatched stability and faster installation
than traditional concrete footings.

The Right Foundation for Hot Tubs & Small Structures

Traditional concrete pads and deck blocks often shift or crack under weight and moisture changes. Helical piles solve that problem. Installed deep below the frost line, they provide permanent, frost-proof stability—keeping your hot tub, shed, or small structure perfectly level year-round.
Whether your project is in the backyard or on uneven terrain, Screw Pile Installers ensures your structure stays stable, safe, and perfectly supported for decades.
