PIERS AND BEAMS IN CRAWL SPACE
|
PIERS AND BEAMS IN CRAWL SPACE
These are normally required when walls bear on long floor joist
spans causing the joist to deflect or sag. The concrete footings for
these piers are 24" x 24" x 12" to 18"deep with rebar reinforcement.
Our piers can be spaced up to 8' apart since our beams that
support the joist are triple 2 x 10 or 2 x 12. After leveling, 3½"
steel columns with 6" x 8" x ½" steel top and bottom plates are
fabricated the exact length required to support the beam to the
piers. Other companies’ columns use adjustable top plates that
are about 3" x 3" x 1/8" to ¼" thick supporting 4 x 6 pressuretreated
beams which will shrink. Our steel columns do not have
adjustable bolts and look permanent. These piers and beams are
also used for bounce and vibration in long floor joist spans.

THE FINAL STEP - CLEANUP
We have always taken pride on leaving a yard as good as or better
than it was when we started. This probably accounts for the most
compliments we get. On completion, the area is graded, topsoil
added if required, shrubs replanted if removed and new mulch
placed in the beds around the home if disturbed. Lawn areas are
seeded and strawed. All concrete surfaces are pressure washed.
