There are 2 types of pier and beam foundations: those that have a concrete perimeter beam and those that do not. If the home has a concrete perimeter beam, the beam can be lifted using either concrete or steel pilings. Interior floor levels can be adjusted by resetting and re-shimming the existing interior supports and replacing rotten or deteriorated wood.
Pier and beam foundations are designed to provide structural stability, but over time, they may require professional repair to maintain their integrity. Whether your home has a concrete perimeter beam or relies solely on interior piers, addressing foundation movement promptly is essential. Homes with a concrete perimeter beam can be lifted and stabilized using either concrete or steel pilings, ensuring long-term support. For homes without a perimeter beam, adjustments to the interior piers and beams are often necessary.
At Structured Foundation Repairs, we specialize in re-shimming and resetting interior supports to bring your floors back to their proper level. This process involves carefully adding or removing shims to achieve the desired height, ensuring a level and stable foundation. Our team has the expertise to assess and repair pier and beam foundations of all types, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring a safe and secure structure for years to come.
Foundation stability starts with addressing issues in your crawl space. Rotten or deteriorated wood in the crawl space compromises your home’s structural integrity. Rotten wood can be a result of direct water contact, high humidity due to insufficient ventilation in the crawl space and/or improper drainage around the home. Existing batting insulation can also contribute to a moisture problem. Insect infestation can also damage wood, weakening a home’s support system. At Structured Foundation Repairs, we replace damaged wood beams, floor joists, subflooring, band joists, and sill plate to restore your foundation’s structural integrity.
To prevent future issues, proper crawl space ventilation is key. We can install perimeter vents or mechanical ventilation systems to reduce humidity and moisture build-up, minimizing the risk of wood rot and other issues such as biological growth. With improved crawl space ventilation, you’ll reduce the risk of future wood deterioration creating better stability and enhancing your homes overall indoor air quality. Let Structured Foundation Repairs ensure you have a strong, secure foundation.
