Older frame houses on brick piers and wood girders need support that matches how they were built. We repair it piece by piece.
Plenty of older frame homes around Hardwick, including modest mill-style and institutional-era houses, sit on brick piers holding up wood girders. It is a simple system that lasts a long time, as long as the piers stay plumb and the wood stays dry.
Over the years things drift. Piers settle into softened clay, lean, or lose mortar. Wood shims between the pier and the girder rot and crush. Girders crack or sag where a span is too long. Upstairs that shows up as floors that tilt, rooms that feel uneven, and doors that drag.
We jack the structure off each failing support, rebuild or replace the pier on a proper footing, swap rotted shims for steel or treated material, and replace or reinforce bad girder sections. The house comes back to level gradually. The Hardwick inspection is free, with photos and a written price.
Our pier & beam repair scope is the same on every Hardwick home, whatever the Baldwin County ground turns out to be doing.
