Pier and Beam Repair in Texas

Classic signs include sagging, uneven, or bouncy floors, sticking doors or windows, gaps between baseboards and the floor, or soft spots in the wood subflooring.

Yes. We specialize in replacing rotted wooden beams, joists, and sill plates, restoring structural integrity and leveling the floors.

They shift due to clay soil expansion, poor crawlspace drainage, or moisture causing the concrete/wood support piers to sink or tilt.

Professionally repaired pier and beam foundations typically remain stable for 15 to 25 years or longer, provided the underlying moisture and drainage issues are also addressed. Without moisture management, new wood components can deteriorate on a similar timeline to the original. Liberty Foundation's transferable warranties protect your investment regardless of how long you own the home.

Pier and beam foundations have an accessible crawlspace beneath the structure, allowing technicians to directly inspect, shim, and replace wooden beams, joists, and support piers. Slab foundation repair requires drilling through the concrete slab to install steel or concrete piers below it. Each system requires different tools, techniques, and expertise — Liberty Foundation specializes in both.

Yes. In most cases, releveling a pier and beam foundation does not require full reconstruction. Technicians access the crawlspace and shim existing concrete piers, replace rotted wood beams or joists, and install new support piers where needed. Full replacement is only necessary when extensive wood rot or structural deterioration has compromised the entire system.

The cost comparison depends heavily on the extent of damage. Minor pier and beam work (shimming and selective beam replacement) can be quite affordable. More extensive projects involving full beam replacement and new pier installation are comparable in cost to slab repair, ranging from $3,000 to $15,000 or more.
