Pier and Post Replacement
Piers and posts hold up the beams that hold up the floor. When they crack, settle, rot or lean, we replace them with new block piers or steel posts on solid footings, and adjust the beam so the load is carried evenly.

Questions
About pier and post replacement
How many piers might need work?
It depends on the house. We inspect each one and replace only those that need it.
Can piers be added where there are none?
Yes. Adding support under a long span can stiffen the floor, and we plan the footings carefully.
