The process

How a pier & beam repair project actually works.

STEP 01

Crawl Space Survey

Pier-by-pier and beam-by-beam evaluation, plus a laser elevation map.

STEP 02

Repair Plan

New pier locations, jack placements, and any joist or beam replacement.

STEP 03

Build

Crews work joist bay by joist bay to limit floor disturbance.

STEP 04

Verify

Re-shoot the laser map and document final elevations.

Repair methods

Engineered options, matched to your home.

Concrete Pier Pads

New 24x24 or 30x30 concrete pads engineered to soil load.

Steel SmartJacks

Adjustable steel posts that allow future fine-tuning.

Sister Joists

New joists bolted to weakened joists to restore load capacity.

Signs you need this

How to know it's time.

  • Bouncy or sagging floors
  • Visible cracks or rot in floor joists
  • Tilting or cracked masonry piers
  • Doors that swing open on their own due to floor slope
Arkansas context

Why this matters here.

Many Arkansas pier & beam homes were built on shallow piers without engineered footings. As clay soil moves, these piers tip or settle, and joists weaken from decades of moisture. BratchCo replaces the failing system with a modern engineered one.

FAQ

Direct answers about pier & beam repair.

  • If you have a crawl space access door and floor vents around your foundation, you have pier & beam. Slab homes sit directly on a concrete pad with no crawl space.
