Pier & Beam Repair for Henderson homeowners
Pier and beam is the traditional way homes were built in rural south Houston County, and Henderson still has plenty of them. Brick or block piers set on footings hold up wood girders, and the floor joists rest on those girders. It is a simple system that lasts a long time when the ground stays stable and the wood stays dry.
Trouble starts when either fails. A pier footing settles into soft soil, a pier cracks or tilts, or a girder rots at the spot where it sits on a damp pier cap. The floor dips over that point, doors go out of square, and the house may creak or bounce more than it used to.
Because everything is reachable from the crawl space, repair is direct. We shore the floor, pull out failed piers and pour new footings, rebuild with block or set adjustable steel posts, and replace or sister rotted girders. Shims and caps are set tight so each pier carries its share. Henderson homeowners get photos, a written price, and a free inspection.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Henderson home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
