Pier and Beam
Many homes nowadays are built on concrete slab foundation.

This is often found in many older homes. This type of foundation has its advantages but can also experience a range of different problems when compared to concrete foundation. That’s why we have a specific pier and beam repair service, so you can always get the help of the true foundation experts.
Rotting and Mold
One the unique issues that pier and beam foundations can experience when compared to concrete slabs is mold and rotting. Excessive moisture can begin to cause both. Both mold and rotting can spread throughout your entire foundation if not dealt with properly, and can cause serious damage and problems, including being a potential health risk in the case of mold. Ensuring that any rotting or mold is properly dealt with in a timely fashion, then, is important. This can be handled far better with regular preventative maintenance.
