Pier & Beam Repair for Elko homeowners
Older homes in south Houston County sit on block and brick piers that were often set on very little. A poured pad at best, sometimes just tamped ground. That was ordinary practice, and it works for a long time until something changes underneath.
Around Elko what changes is water. The table sits close to the surface in sandy Coastal Plain soil, and water moving through sand carries fine material with it. Over decades that undermines whatever the pier is standing on, and the pier settles or leans. Meanwhile damp ground keeps the sill plate and joist ends soft.
The repair gives the system a proper base. Each affected pier gets reset plumb on a new poured footing sized to spread the load, failed sill and girder sections get replaced, joists get sistered, and the floor comes back gradually. Where the ground stays wet we seal it so the new work is not starting in the same conditions.
Every Elko home gets the same pier & beam repair scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
