What is a Pier and Beam Foundation?
A pier and beam foundation supports your home by using either brick, stone or concrete piers and wooden beams. Piers are extended deep down into the earth, resting on stones. The beams that support your home rest on the piers. Unlike slab on grade foundations which sit directly on the ground, pier and beam foundations are usually elevated 18-24” above ground level.
What are the advantages of a Pier and Beam foundation?
- Because they are built above ground level, homes with a pier and beam foundation are less susceptible to flooding
- Homes with a pier and beam foundation typically provide easier access to plumbing and electrical lines, making maintenance and repairs easier
- Homes built on a pier and beam foundation are very strong and don’t shift as much due to underlying soil conditions as other foundation systems
- Repairs and adjustments to pier and beam homes are typically easier and less costly than slab on grade foundation systems. This is because adjustments can be made with shims as opposed to drilling new piers, as is often necessary with slab on grade foundation systems.
What are the disadvantages of a Pier and Beam foundation?
- Pier and beam foundations are often more expensive to build than slab on grade foundation systems
- Because of the crawlspace, pier and beam homes are more susceptible to pests, which can spread disease and can potentially damage electrical wiring, water lines and the beams that support the home.
- Pier and beam homes can be more susceptible to dampness. As with all homes, it is important to have water drain away from the home and to consider a drainage system if necessary.
How are Pier & Beam foundations repaired?
- For smaller issues, reshimming your foundation to make it level may solve the problem. Reshimming involves making small adjustments to level specific areas of your foundation. This is often a relatively quick, easy and inexpensive repair.
- Another repair method is to rebuild or add pier stacks. This is a great technique if your original piers have disintegrated or are no longer functioning as designed.
- If your shaker sills and floor joists are rotting, they can and should be replaced to restore your home to its original specifications. The complexity this type of repair depends on the size and location of the damaged sills
What do our Customers Say about our Work?
“I had Luis Tenzhou do extensive work on my sister’s pier and beam house. I could not be happier with his work.” – Tommy England
“Maestro’s worked on our pier and beam foundation in Dallas. They were quick to respond, professional, accommodating and the repairs were completed efficiently. We had to call them back to re-evaluate… we noticed movement after the rain and they were once again quick to respond, evaluate and repair. We highly recommend Maestro’s.” – Laura V
