What Is a Pier & Beam Foundation?
Pier and beam foundations consist of treated lumber elevated on piers or blocks to create a crawl space under a house. These designs allow for proper ventilation and easy access to plumbing and electrical systems. When built correctly, a pier and beam foundation maintains a safe clearance from the ground, promoting stability and reducing moisture exposure. Homeowners benefit from improved airflow, potentially leading to healthier living conditions and enhanced longevity of the home.
How Are These Foundations Repaired?
Repairing pier and beam foundations takes careful planning and construction techniques to ensure your home’s stability and longevity. The largest pieces of lumber, the beams, run parallel to the length of the home, typically spaced up to 12 feet apart based on the structure’s weight. Perpendicular to the beams are joists, generally placed 18 inches apart. A subfloor of at least ½ inch plywood sits on the joists, supporting the flooring. This elevated wooden structure is securely supported by a combination of concrete grade beams, drilled concrete piers, sonotubes or blocks, creating a robust foundation for your home to sit on.
