Pier & beam foundations are common in older San Antonio homes. Vertical piers rest on the ground or a concrete base and support the beams that hold up your floor, leaving a crawl space underneath. That design makes plumbing and repairs easier to reach — but it also means the foundation can settle or shift as Texas soil moves.
1. Inspection & Diagnosis
Every repair starts with a thorough inspection. Our specialist checks the alignment of the beams and piers, inspects the crawl space for moisture and pests, and analyzes the surrounding soil. From there, we recommend the right course of action for your specific home — and give you a free, written estimate.
2. Leveling the Foundation
If the foundation has settled, we level it using hydraulic jacks to lift it back to its original position. The piers and beams are carefully raised until everything is properly aligned and stable. For more severe settling, we install additional piers or supports to distribute the weight evenly and prevent it from happening again.
3. Repairing or Replacing Damaged Materials
Over time, wood can rot, concrete can crack, and metal supports can rust. Any damaged beams are removed and replaced with new, durable materials. We also use shimming and Sonotube posts to stabilize and fine-tune the structure for long-lasting results.
4. Cleanup & Lifetime Warranty
When the work is done, we clean up thoroughly — and when it's a big, dusty job, we send cleaners to leave your home better than we found it. Every repair is backed by our lifetime transferable warranty, so your investment is protected even if you sell.
