Foundation Repair · Tarrant County
Pier and beam homes sit on a framework of wood beams and joists supported by piers, with a crawl space underneath. Because the structure is accessible from below, problems like sagging floors, rotted shims, or settling support piers can often be corrected without major demolition. This kind of repair restores level and shores up the support system under the house.
Over the years interior piers can settle, wooden shims can crush or rot, and beams can deflect between supports, leaving floors that bounce or slope. Moisture in the crawl space accelerates this, so a thorough look usually checks the framing and the drainage at the same time. Repairs can include adjusting or replacing piers, adding new support points, and sistering or replacing damaged beams and joists.
Because the support system is reachable, re-leveling a pier and beam home is often less invasive than slab work. The crew can raise low spots gradually, shim to a measured elevation, and address any wood that has deteriorated while they're underneath.
It can be. Bouncing or sagging in a pier and beam home often traces back to a settled pier or a weakened beam under that area. An inspection of the crawl space usually identifies the cause quickly.
Yes. Because the supports are adjustable and accessible, these foundations can be re-shimmed or re-leveled over time if soil movement or moisture causes new settling.
