Earth Contact Products

What Earth Contact Products does

Earth Contact Products (ECP) is a U.S. manufacturer of foundation repair, basement waterproofing, and anchoring systems, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Olathe, Kansas. The company engineers steel-based and chemical-injection products including helical piles, steel push piers, the PolyPier polyurethane foam injection system, branded carbon fiber reinforcement, basement waterproofing, and crawl space encapsulation systems. Operations are certified to ISO 9001:2015, and products carry ICC certification, supporting the company's positioning as a code-compliant supplier to professional installers.

ECP operates a strict B2B channel model, selling exclusively through a nationwide network of certified contractors rather than to end consumers or general contractors. Revenue is generated through product sales to these channel partners and is supplemented by training and certification programs (Helical Pier School, Push Pier School, PolyPier School, and Waterproofing School) plus co-marketing tools such as the 3D Foundation Success Models visualization system and the DRIVEN contractor community. The company employs 251-500 people and has been in continuous operation for over 25 years.

Sub-brands include PolyPier, DRIVEN, THE ECP WAY, and 3D Foundation Success Models. The company markets to residential foundation repair, commercial/industrial, and infrastructure/utility end markets — with the latter including solar, wind, EV charging, and battery energy storage applications for its helical and anchoring systems.
