What is a Pier and Beam Foundation?

Pier and beam foundations are constructed of treated lumber and elevated atop piers or blocks. Beams run parallel to the length of the house. Perpendicular to these wooden beams are joists, and on top of the joists sits the subfloor which supports the flooring of the home.

This wooden “understructure” is elevated and supported by a concrete grade beam around the perimeter of the house, drilled concrete piers, sono-tubes, pad & blocks, or some combination of these 4 systems. A properly constructed pier and beam foundation will have a crawl space under the home.

How Does Pier and Beam Foundation Repair Work?

There are various methods of foundation repair for pier and beam foundations. Our #dirtnerds measure elevation differences throughout your home to determine where the problem areas are.

Once they take the measurements, our team will carefully and thoroughly evaluate your home’s landscaping, drainage, and soil under the property to help determine a plan of repair and maintenance suited to your needs and budget.

#ShiftHappens, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution for foundation repair. Here are some of the most common foundation repair types for pier and beam foundations:

  • Landscape and drainage solutions
  • Piers (type of pier depends on the soil and budget)
  • Retaining walls

Replacing wooden beams

Another method for pier and beam foundation repair is to replace the wooden beam. This consists of either pouring concrete into sonotubes where the wooden beam used to be or pad and block supports for the wood beams.

"Perma-Pier did an outstanding job with our foundation repair about 10 years ago. They came back to do an adjustment when we sold the house last year. The adjustment cost nothing and they were really easy to work with. Highly recommend."
