PIER AND BEAM METHOD OF REPAIR

For pier and beam structures we will inspect the current structure's piers.  If only jacking and leveling is required, we will simply lift the structure up at each pier location and place steel shims to level the structure.

If current piers are rotted or unstable, they will need to be replaced. Any rotted wood or beams will also be replaced. Shoring is put in place to temporarily stabilize the structure; then we dig a 2x2x2 foot hole for new pier locations. 

After the concrete footings have set, the structure will be lifted and leveled and the plinth (the top of the pier) will be poured onto the footings.  After the pier has set, the new piers will be poured to the bottom of the beams. 

The foundation is now structurally stable, and the temporary shoring is removed.
Debris is hauled off and any plants that might have been removed are replanted.

We will also remove and replace underpins if needed.
