What Is Pier & Beam Foundation Repair?
Identifying Pier & Beam Issues
Advanced Foundation Repair has been providing pier and beam foundation repair in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX for over 100 years. We have identified the cause of failures in these types of “understructures” which are instantly noticed when cracks begin to form on the interior walls of your home, doors no longer close and open with ease due to gaps in the frame, and windows begin to stick. The most obvious signs are when floors are sinking, starting to bow, or sloping.
The wood understructure is supported at various points and shims are used to adjust the subfloor, so all points are similar in elevation to the other areas of support. Periodic “re-shimming” is needed as supports move with soil changes and wood materials shrink or swell.
Causes of Pier & Beam Foundation Problems
One of the biggest causes of any kind of structural damage is moisture. Moisture is known to create the perfect breeding ground and home for critters like termites and destructive organisms such as fungus and mold which can damage the pier and beam support structure of your foundation. Another common cause of structural damage to your foundation support structure is a poor initial design or inadequate repair process of another company. When soil begins to sink in multiple directions foundation footers will move, causing additional damage.
Regarding pier and beam foundation problems the cause is often as simple as wood which has become worn and rotten due to an excessive amount of mold or fungus growth and is in need of replacement or improved ventilation. Vents can be added to help reduce moisture build up and control the humidity levels in the crawl space.
