We had structured foundation come out today to review our foundation. They were the third company to come out to inspect and give us a quote.

Everyone from the office staff, estimators & crew were just great. I especially appreciated the guy in charge of the crew, Edward. He was very informative as to what they were having to do and informed me of arrival time! They did a great job of taking the old stuff from under the house - even unused pipes and old part of lumber. I would...

Which foundation is a better choice, pier-and-beam or slab? Although slab foundations work well and tend to be less expensive at the point of installation, pier-and-beam foundations offer significant benefits. Not only do they protect your home from damage, but they also make it more energy-efficient.
Watch this video to learn about the advantages of pier-and-beam foundations. With pier-and-beam foundations, the house is propped up by a series of steel beams instead of resting directly on concrete. This extra space helps to prevent wood rot and keeps moisture at bay. If extra insulation is added to the bottom of the house, pier-and-beam foundations also create a barrier between the home and ground temperatures. This means your home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

There are two main types of foundations: slab-on-grade and pier-and-beam. With slab-on-grade foundations, reinforced concrete is poured on top of the soil to create a foundation. Some homeowners prefer this kind of foundation because it is inexpensive, but it does have disadvantages. Slab-on-grade foundations are very susceptible to problems from expansive soils, and since they have very little give, they are harder to walk on for back pain sufferers. For these reasons, many people in the construction industry prefer pier-and-beam style foundations.
With pier-and-beam foundations, there is space between the floors of the home and the foundation itself. This area is usually called a crawl space and is at least 18 inches tall. Concrete footings offer support. Pier-and-beam foundations can handle some amount of soil expansion and are easier to adjust if dramatic shifting occurs. The space between the floor and the concrete foundation means the floor has more give, so it is easier on the back.
