A Brief History of Pier and Beam Foundations

Pier and beam foundations were first introduced in the 1800s and were commonly used in residential homes until the 1960s. They consist of a series of wooden or concrete piers that are placed into the ground to support a framework of wooden beams. This framework, in turn, supports the home’s floor joists and subflooring.


Common problems associated with older pier and beam foundations in Texas include rotting and shifting the wooden beams and piers due to moisture and pests. This can lead to uneven floors, sagging, and cracking walls.

Repairing Your Pier and Beam Foundation

The best way to repair a pier and beam foundation is to address any moisture issues first. This can involve installing proper drainage and ventilation systems. Next, any damaged or rotted piers and beams should be replaced. Steel shims can be installed to level homes.
