Why pier and beam foundations move
Changes in soil moisture can shift the piers that carry the house. Leaks and poor drainage add to it, and wood that stays damp can weaken over time.
Older homes often have more wear, but a pier and beam foundation of any age can need attention when the soil or the water around it changes.
Common questions
What is a pier and beam foundation?
A pier and beam foundation holds the floor above the ground on piers and beams, with a crawl space underneath. A slab foundation is a concrete pad poured directly on the ground.
How do I know which kind of foundation I have?
If there is a crawl space under the floor and vents around the base of the house, it is probably pier and beam. If the house sits directly on a concrete pad, it is a slab.
Can a pier and beam house be leveled?
Yes. Re-shimming, pier repair and beam or joist repair can bring floors back toward level. How much can be corrected depends on the condition of the structure.
What does pier and beam repair involve?
It can include repairing or replacing piers, sills and joists, re-shimming and leveling. We tell you what your house needs after we inspect under the floor.
Do you offer a warranty on foundation work?
Yes. Our foundation work carries a 30-day warranty. What it covers is stated in your written quote or agreement.
