Pier & Beam Foundation Repair

Pier and beam foundations are one of the most common solutions deployed across the entire country. It is one of the solutions which creates a crawl space below your home. Now we think it is important for clients to know the different layers which make up this foundation, as they will then know what to look out for. Essentially they are split into four sections. The actual piers and beams. The main and shaker still system. The floor joists, and finally the sub-floor and floor. Fortunately for you, we have a range of solutions capable of handling them all.

Causes

In the many years that we have been working on pier and beam foundations, we have been able to identify 3 key problems which you need to take note of. Of course, there are others, but these are by far the most common. First and foremost there is a foundational settlement which is usually caused by expansive or eroding soil. Next in line, we have the problem that excess moisture below your home can cause. And last, but by no means least, we have the use of poor construction methods and sub-standard materials. For more information, please give us a call.

Foundations And Remodeling

In some cases, our clients only find that their foundations are in trouble when they begin a remodeling project. This often leaves them in two minds as to whether they should cease with the renovation, and take care of the foundation first, or whether they should try doing both at the same time. The simple fact of the matter is that you cant change anything if you do not have solid foundations, as to the question of whether you can do both at the same time, will depend on the severity of the damage.

The Right Company

With so much fake news and disinformation in the world today, it is often very difficult to differentiate what to believe and what not to believe. Our industry is no different, and at the end of the day, there are one or two companies that may not be as good as they say they are. This is why we encourage all our clients to do as much research into the company they wish to choose. Make sure they are capable of fulfilling their promises. If you would like to put us to the test, just give us a call today.
