Pier & Beam Repair for Kathleen homeowners
Kathleen has real farmhouses, and many of them sit on their original pier and beam foundations with crawl spaces tall enough to move around in. That headroom is a genuine advantage for repair work, because a crew can get to every bearing point without excavating a path.
What works against them is water. These are large lots with no storm drainage, so every inch of rain leaves through the soil, and a lot of it passes through the ground right around the house. Over decades that softens the ground the piers stand on and keeps the wood above it damp.
The repair rebuilds the bearing and replaces the failed wood. Piers get reset plumb on new poured footings, sill and girder sections that have lost strength come out, joists get sistered alongside sound original material, and steel supports carry any span that needs more. Roof water gets piped away as part of the same job.
Kathleen homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
