Helical piles (also called screw piles) are steel shafts with helical plates that are hydraulically driven into the ground to carry a structure’s load, reaching stable soil below the frost line. DiamondTech Piles installs load-rated helical foundations for decks, additions, homes and commercial structures across Bradford, the GTA and Simcoe County, usually in a single day and with no concrete cure time.
Building something great in Ontario means dealing with some pretty tricky ground conditions. Between the deep frost lines that can move your house and the thick clay soils found all over the GTA, traditional concrete footings often run into trouble. Helical piles, which many people call screw piles, are essentially heavy duty steel anchors that we screw deep into the earth until they hit solid ground that can actually hold weight.
By skipping the unstable topsoil and anchoring your project into the stable ground below, our systems make sure your deck, addition, or boathouse stays exactly where you put it. No shifting, no cracking, and no frost heave. Just a solid foundation that lasts for decades.
New to the system? Start with what are helical piles and how screw pile foundations work, then see the side-by-side on helical piles vs concrete footings for cost, install time and frost heave. Building in the city? We install helical piles in Toronto and across the GTA.

If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled piling contractor, Diamond Tech Piles is the company to call. Trevor has built a fantastic team, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone looking for quality work.
I was with Trevor and his crew doing piles for a massive solar system and they got the job done in amazing time while ensuring precise drilling to the measurements I needed anytime I need more piles done for anymore jobs I am definitely giving them a ring and I would recommend them to any and everyone!!!
Trevor and his team from Diamond Tech Piles installed the helical piles for our deck and did an excellent job. They were professional, efficient, and clearly knew their work. The process involved some digging and machinery, but they took great care to minimize any impact and left the property in much better condition than we expected. We’re very happy with the results and would absolutely recommend Diamond Tech Piles to anyone needing helical pile installation.
Trevor ,Griffin and the crew were great. Installed 3.5” piles for a pavilion to be built. The conditions were not normal with roots,stones and access issues.They got the job done and were positive thru out the experience. Highly recommend
Very positive experience. Trevor was very responsive and polite - a real delight to work with. With his team, they drove helical piles around our existing pool for our new deck. We definitely ran into obstacles with rocks, buried cement, roots and the cement pool collar, however, they found great solutions. I have absolutely no hesitation with recommending Diamond Tech Piles - they are great!
Trevor and Zee installed 4 SP3 helical piles for us today for a gazebo. Saved our backs versus digging concrete piers, and gave us the peace of mind with the torque reports. It was great dealing with Trevor throughout the process, especially as a first time helical pile user who had a lot of questions. Highly recommend!
Trevor and the boys at diamond tech We’re an absolute pleasure to work with. Everything from start to finish was done right, Super easy to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone for their pile or deck rejects. Don’t bother shopping around, these are the guys you want working on your next backyard project.
The crew installed very large helical piles for us to build our cottage on. The owner Trevor was very responsive and got the job done by organizing a barg, to bring their equipment to our remote location. It was a great experience all around.
DiamondTech installed helical piles for a project we are working on, and they were fantastic from start to finish. Communication was excellent. Trevor was responsive and answered all of our questions thoroughly. His team's professionalism and efficiency made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We wouldn't hesitate to work with them again!
Trevor and his guys were awesome. Originally planned helical pile installation for late April, but when deck contractor schedule changed, they went above and beyond to get job done weeks sooner to assist. Thank you for your accommodation, very much appreciated!!
Think of a helical pile as a giant industrial screw. We use high strength steel shafts that have spiral blades attached to the bottom. Instead of digging a massive hole and pouring concrete, we use hydraulic machinery to screw these piles deep into the ground. They work by bypassing the soft or loose soil on the surface and anchoring themselves into the solid ground further down. This gives you a foundation that is verified by the machine itself as it goes in, meaning we know exactly how much weight it can hold before we even finish.
In a place like Ontario, concrete footings have a few natural enemies. The main one is frost heave, which happens when the ground freezes and pushes your concrete post upward, leading to tilted decks and cracked foundations. Helical piles are different because they are anchored so deep that the frost can not touch them. Plus, you do not have to wait days for concrete to dry or deal with a yard full of dirt from excavation. You can build on them the very same day they go into the ground.
It absolutely is. This is a game changer for builders in Ontario. Normally, construction stops when the ground freezes because you can not easily pour concrete in the snow. But because we are literally screwing steel into the ground, we can go right through that frost layer. We install piles in January and February all the time, which means you do not have to wait for the spring thaw to get your project moving.
To follow the rules of the Ontario Building Code, every foundation needs to be protected from frost. This usually means going at least 4 feet deep. However, every site is different. Some projects might hit solid ground at 8 feet while others in marshy areas might need us to go 20 feet or more. The cool part is that our equipment tells us exactly when we have reached the right level of resistance, so we only stop when we are 100 percent sure your structure is safe.
The list is huge. Most homeowners use them for backyard projects like custom decks, hot tubs, sheds, and home additions. But they are also perfect for bigger stuff like detached garages, solar panel systems, and commercial signage. We even use them for nautical projects like boathouses and docks because they cause very little disturbance to the surrounding environment. If it needs to stay level and upright, a helical pile can probably handle it.
