Sill Replacement

The sill, or the horizontal piece of wood that rests directly on the foundation, is a crucial component of a pier and beam foundation. Over time, sills can deteriorate due to moisture damage, pest infestation, or general wear and tear. Our skilled technicians are well-versed in sill replacement techniques. We carefully remove the damaged sill and replace it with a new, structurally sound piece, ensuring proper alignment and stability.

Joist Replacement

Joists are the horizontal beams that provide support for the floor above in a pier and beam foundation. When joists become damaged or weakened, it can lead to sagging floors, uneven surfaces, or even structural instability. Our team has extensive experience in joist replacement, utilizing high-quality materials to ensure the strength and integrity of your foundation. We pay attention to every detail, ensuring proper spacing, leveling, and anchoring of the new joists.

Frequently Asked Questions

A pier and beam foundation is a type of foundation system commonly used in older homes. It consists of a series of piers, which are vertical columns of concrete or stone, supporting beams that span between them. The beams, in turn, support the floor joists, creating a raised platform above the ground.
Over time, pier and beam foundations can experience structural issues, such as rotting or deteriorating wood sills and joists. This can be caused by moisture damage, termites, or age-related wear and tear. When the sills or joists become compromised, it is necessary to replace them to maintain the stability and integrity of the foundation.

Sill and joist replacement in a pier and beam foundation typically involves the following steps:

  1. Inspection: A professional assesses the extent of damage and determines which sills and joists need to be replaced.
  2. Temporary support: Temporary supports, such as jacks, are used to ensure the stability of the structure during the replacement process.
  3. Removal: Damaged sills and joists are carefully removed, taking precautions not to disturb other parts of the foundation.
  4. Installation: New sills and joists are installed using appropriate building materials and techniques, ensuring proper alignment and support.
  5. Reinforcement: Additional measures, such as adding bracing or sistering new joists to existing ones, may be implemented to strengthen the foundation further.
  6. Finishing touches: Once the replacement is complete, the temporary supports are removed, and the area is cleaned up, ready for further repairs or restoration as needed.
