Pier and beam
Pier and beam foundation repair in Baton Rouge.
Raised houses move differently from slabs. Piers sink or lean, shims rot or slip, and sills and beams soften where water gets in.
What goes wrong
Bouncy floors and soft spots.
A floor that dips in the middle of a room, bounces when you walk or slopes toward one wall usually means a pier has settled, a shim has failed, or a beam or joist has rotted. The crawlspace tells the story.
The fix
Support, replace and re-shim.
Settled piers are reset or new ones added, failed shims are replaced with steel, and damaged sills, beams or joists are repaired or sistered. Then the house is brought back toward level.
Moisture
Keep the crawlspace dry.
Standing water and humidity under a raised Baton Rouge house rot wood and invite termites. Vents, a vapor barrier and drainage away from the house protect the repair.
