Pier & Beam Repair for Lizella homeowners
The kaolin and red clay west of Macon is the most active soil we work on, and a pier foundation feels every bit of it. The clay swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, so each pier rides up and down through the year on ground that changes volume.
For a while the movement returns each season. Doors stick in spring and free up by August, cracks open and close. Eventually a pier stops coming back, the girder above it carries unevenly, and the floor settles into the low position permanently.
The fix is to get the bearing below the layer that moves. New footings go down past the zone that wets and dries seasonally, piers get reset on them, failed sill and girder sections get replaced, and steel supports carry spans that need it. Alongside that we even out moisture around the house so the clay stops swinging so hard.
Lizella homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
