Pier & Beam Repair
Bouncy or sloping floors usually start in the crawl space. Original piers were often too few, too short, or set straight on dirt — and after decades they sink or rot.
Typical timeline
Two days to a week depending on crawl space access.
Low disruption
Most work happens below the floor, not inside.
Drainage checked
We look at moisture and ventilation while we're there.
What a support system does
Piers carry the girders, girders carry the floor joists, and the joists carry your floor. Any weak link shows up as a sag, a bounce or a gap at the baseboard.
When replacement is needed
Rotted or crushed posts, piers sitting on soil rather than footings, dry rot or termite damage in girders, or spacing that's simply too wide for the load. We inspect the whole crawl space, not just the spot that's sagging.
The benefits
Level, quiet floors, doors that latch again, and a crawl space that stays dry. Adding piers is also one of the least disruptive foundation repairs — most of it happens under the house.
