Pier & Beam Repair for Byron homeowners
Sandy Coastal Plain soil is generally good to a pier foundation. It drains, it does not swell, and it carries load predictably. The one thing it does badly is stay put when water runs through it.
That is the mechanism behind most Byron pier and beam problems. Water moving under a footing takes fine material with it, leaves a void, and the pier settles into it. Roof water discharging at the foundation and the low ground near Big Indian Creek both speed that up considerably.
So the repair starts by finding where the water goes and ends by rebuilding what it undermined. Piers get reset on new footings sized to spread the load, failed girder and sill sections get replaced, joists get sistered, and the floor is lifted gradually back toward level. Gutters and grading get corrected so the same void does not form again.
Byron homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
