Older frame homes on open brick piers, with clay over rock keeping water right at footing depth.
Most homes in Orchard Hill are older frame construction on open brick piers, often with shallow footings or none at all. Under them, clay sits on rock, which keeps water in the top few feet of soil, right at the depth those piers bear on.
That water does two things. It softens the ground the piers stand on so they settle or lean, and it keeps the crawl space humid enough to soften joist ends over time. Because these crawl spaces are usually open to the yard, the humidity side runs unchecked for most of the year.
The repair rebuilds the bearing and replaces the failed wood. Piers get reset plumb on new poured footings, adjustable supports carry spans that need help, and failed joists and girder sections come out. The floor comes back gradually. Where it makes sense we enclose and seal the perimeter so the repair sits in a dry space.
Every Orchard Hill home gets the same sagging floor repair scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
