“Professional OEM Supplier                  For Helical Pile System”

Foundation repair projects have historically grappled with unpredictable soil behavior — especially in areas prone to expansive clay, freeze-thaw cycles, or shifting ground. Helical underpinning technology has emerged as a reliable alternative to heavy concrete underpinning, and Better Screw Co. is proud to equip the market with Standard Helical Brackets, engineered for strength, ease-of-use, and compatibility with a range of foundation rehabilitation scenarios.

A Modern Solution for Traditional Problems

When foundation settlement causes structural distress — visible in cracked walls, sloping floors, or stuck doors — the underlying issue is often soil instability. Contractors widely turn to helical piles because they transfer loads deep into competent soil layers, side-stepping shallow displacement and surface variability.

Yet, even the best screw-pile system needs a correctly engineered bracket to deliver performance. The Standard Helical Brackets from Better Screw Co. offer an interface that bridges structural frames, subfloor beams, or slab edges to the load-bearing screw pile below.

Built for Challenging Conditions

Helical underpinning brackets are designed for environments where other systems struggle:

• Expansive Soil Zones: Common in southern and central U.S. regions, where seasonal moisture changes cause soil volume shifts.

• Freeze-Thaw Regions: Northern climates where repeated ground freezing and thawing compromise shallow footing systems.

• High Wind or Vibration Areas: Industrial or coastal zones where foundation movement can cause lateral and uplift stresses.

By pairing helical pilings with engineered brackets, contractors achieve consistent load paths, reduced post-installation adjustment, and better long-term stability.

Features That Set These Brackets Apart

• Engineered Load Transfer: Designed to transmit compression and tension loads without bracket deformation.

• Flexible Mounting Configurations: Suitable for slab edge brackets, beam clamps, or custom framing attachments.

• Durable and Adaptable Finish Options: From mill finish to optional galvanization — brackets hold up in humid or corrosive sites.

• Code-Ready Performance: Compatible with engineering specifications for residential and light commercial underpinning projects.

Successful Use Cases

Helical bracket systems have been deployed in real foundation repair jobs across a range of conditions:

• Residential Home Leveling: Uneven decks lifted and stabilized using helical piles and bracket reinforcements.

• Commercial Building Retrofits: Structural strengthening under aging footings in malls, schools, and office parks.

• Utility Building Stabilization: Warehouse and equipment base leveling in sites with variable subsurface conditions.

Pathways to Long-Term Reliability

Foundation repair often requires a solution that resists future soil movement while minimizing disruption to the existing structure. Better Screw Co.’s Helical Brackets — paired with engineered helical piers — deliver exactly that: a resilient, long-lasting system that can be tailored to project requirements and installed more rapidly than traditional underpinning methods.

Whether for historic properties, new remodels, or infrastructure rehabilitation, professionals are increasingly looking to helical underpinning systems and engineered brackets as the foundation repair choice that balances performance, speed, and value.
