Pier & Beam Foundation Repair

Homes built before slab-on-grade became standard often rest on pier-and-beam — a wood floor frame raised over a crawlspace. Decades of soil movement, moisture, and aging shims let beams sag and floors bounce; releveling restores support from below, where the structure is still accessible.

What pier & beam foundation repair involves

Working in the crawlspace, the crew shims or replaces failing piers, sisters or swaps rotted beams and joists, and adjusts the support points until the floor frame is level again. Because everything is reachable from underneath, pier-and-beam repairs are often less disruptive than slab work — but controlling crawlspace moisture is what keeps the fix from coming back.

  1. 01Crawlspace inspectionBeams, joists, piers, and moisture levels are assessed from underneath the home.
  2. 02Shim & relevelSupport points are shimmed or jacked to bring the floor frame back to a level plane.
  3. 03Structural repairRotted, split, or undersized beams and joists are sistered or replaced as needed.
  4. 04Moisture controlDrainage, vapor barriers, and ventilation are corrected to slow future wood movement.

Signs you may need pier & beam

On DFW's expansive clay, these are the symptoms specialists see most. Spotting one early keeps a small fix from becoming a structural one.

  • Floors that feel bouncy, springy, or visibly sag
  • Visible gaps, splits, or rot on crawlspace beams
  • A musty crawlspace odor or standing moisture underneath
  • Floors that dip toward the center of a room
  • Squeaks and movement that track with the seasons
