Advanced techniques for pier and beam foundation repair in Texas When it comes to fixing a damaged pier and beam foundation, various advanced techniques are used by contractors. Here are some of the most commonly used advanced techniques. 1. Underpinning Underpinning is a method used to reinforce the foundation under an existing structure. The process involves excavating soil from beneath the foundation, and additional concrete piers or steel piles are installed to strengthen the foundation. This stabilizes the foundation and helps prevent further damage. 2. Soil Stabilization Soil stabilization is a technique used to prevent ongoing foundation movement caused by subsidence, expansive soils, and downhill creep. The method involves injecting chemicals into the soil beneath the foundation. These chemicals stabilize the soil and prevent it from shifting. 3. Steel Piers Steel piers are a foundation repair solution used to repair foundation settlement. This technique involves driving a steel pier through the unstable soil until it reaches a stable soil layer. The structure is then lifted onto the steel pier, making the structure level and stable.

This technique involves sealing the crawlspace to keep out moisture and water vapor. This process ensures the area is moisture- free, which helps prevent excess humidity and the growth of mold. 5. Helical Piers Helical piers are designed to provide support to the foundation in certain situations. This technique involves using excavating equipment to dig down to the footings. Attaching a steel plate to the foundation, screw-shaped helical piles are turned until secure into the soil to control foundation movement.
