If you have an older home, there’s a good chance that you have a crawl space foundation. And if you think you’re experiencing crawl space issues, we’re the company to turn to.

At Childers Brothers, we specialize in pier and beam adjustment for crawl space foundations. Pier and beam foundations can fail for a variety of reasons, and we have the expertise to pinpoint the precise problem…

• Deflected (fallen) grade beams
• Supports that have sunken into the ground
• Cracked and broken joists
• Rotted sill plates
• Malfunctioning beams

Depending on whether your foundation has settled or heaved, we can adjust the piers and beams accordingly. This will ensure each pier and beam is holding the appropriate weight load. Bottom line: No matter the cause of the problem, we will uncover it with our 27-Point Analysis to determine the right plan of action to fix it.

To make sure your crawl space foundation remains in top condition, we recommend adjusting your piers and beams every two to four years. Pier and beam foundations have fewer support points than concrete-slab foundations, as we explain in this article. As such, they aren’t quite as stout as other types of foundation and need a little extra TLC.

We know… you don’t want to hear that! But the truth is that misaligned piers and beams can lead to astronomically expensive problems with your home if neglected. With this type of foundation, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure—and potentially tens of thousands of dollars.
