A comprehensive site assessment is conducted to evaluate the wall condition and surrounding soil properties. This helps determine the depth and spacing for the wall ties.
Building Resilient Structures: Helical Wall Anchors for Coastal Properties
In Long Island’s coastal regions, homes and buildings frequently face the challenges of soil erosion, flooding, and powerful storms like hurricanes and nor’easters. These natural forces place substantial stress on masonry walls and foundations, often leading to cracking or bowing over time.
To safeguard your property, Piers and Piles offers helical wall anchors, an effective solution designed to stabilize your structure against shifting soils and water pressure. With our 30-year warranties, you can rest easy knowing your home is protected for the long term, even in the face of unpredictable coastal conditions.

Why Long Island’s Coastal Conditions Require Specialized Solutions
Long Island’s coastal environment presents unique risks, especially to masonry walls and foundations. The combination of soil erosion, high groundwater, floods, and frequent storms causes soil to shift, putting immense pressure on these structures. Traditional methods often fail under these conditions. Helical wall anchors, however, are designed to be drilled into stable soil layers, providing the lateral support needed to withstand soil movement and water pressure, ensuring homes remain secure.
What Are Helical Wall Anchors and How Do They Work?
Helical wall anchors are steel shafts equipped with helix-shaped plates that screw into the ground, anchoring walls securely into stable soil. These anchors are particularly effective for stabilizing bowing or cracking walls without the need for extensive excavation. Compared to other methods like ground anchors, helical screw anchors are easier to install and can be adjusted based on the load requirements of the wall, making them ideal for coastal regions prone to flooding and erosion.
Benefits of Helical Wall Ties
Helical wall ties provide an effective and long-lasting solution for stabilizing masonry walls in areas with shifting soils and unstable ground, such as Long Island’s coastal regions. These ties work by reinforcing walls that are prone to cracking, bowing, or shifting, preventing further damage caused by erosion, flooding, and soil pressure. Unlike traditional methods, helical wall ties are designed to offer lateral support without extensive excavation, making them a preferred choice for homeowners looking for a reliable, minimally invasive solution. Here are the key benefits of installing helical wall ties:
- Prevents Wall Bowing and Cracking
- Offers Long-term Lateral Stability
- Ideal for Homes in Flood-Prone or Erosion-Prone Areas
- Quick Installation with Minimal Disruption
- Provides Immediate Stabilization

Helical Wall Ties Installation Process
Helical piers, piles, anchors, and tiebacks all follow a relatively similar installation process, designed to provide deep, stable support for structures facing soil movement and shifting. The installation process of helical wall ties is a precise process aimed at providing long-term stability to masonry walls in coastal areas like Long Island. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
A pilot hole is drilled into the masonry wall at a precise angle and depth. This hole ensures proper placement of the helical wall tie into a stable soil layer behind the wall.
The wall ties are inserted and rotated into place using specialized torque equipment, securing the wall into the stable soil layers. Tension is then applied to reinforce the wall.
Load testing ensures the ties can withstand the required weight. Final adjustments are made to guarantee the structural stability of the wall, especially in erosion-prone areas.
Helical Wall Anchors vs. Helical Tiebacks: Choosing the Right System
While both helical wall anchors and helical tiebacks stabilize structures, they are suited for different applications:
- Helical Wall Anchors: Provide lateral support to masonry walls, ideal for homes experiencing bowing or cracking due to soil pressure.
- Helical Tiebacks: Designed to stabilize retaining walls or sea walls, they offer substantial resistance to lateral forces caused by shifting soils or water pressure.
