Pier & Beam Foundation Repair in Corpus Christi

A lot of Corpus Christi’s older homes — around Downtown, North Beach, and the older Westside neighborhoods — sit on pier & beam foundations. It’s a good system when it’s maintained, but piers shift, wood rots, and crawl spaces trap Gulf Coast humidity. We repair and stabilize pier & beam foundations so the house sits level and stays that way.

Signs You Need Pier & Beam Repair

Floors that bounce, sag, or slope
Doors and windows that stick
Cracks in interior walls, especially around door frames
A musty smell or visible moisture under the house
Gaps between the floor and baseboards

One or two of these might be minor. Several together usually means the piers have shifted or the wood structure is compromised — worth an inspection.

What We Do

Re-shim and re-level existing piers
Replace failed or deteriorated piers
Sister or replace damaged joists and beams
Address crawl space moisture contributing to wood rot

We don’t just jack the house up and leave. We find why it moved — soil, water, or failing materials — and fix that too.

Why Pier & Beam Struggles Here

Corpus Christi’s expansive clay moves with every wet and dry cycle, and it moves unevenly. Add a high water table and humid air sitting under the house, and piers settle differentially while wood stays damp. It’s the most common pattern we see in the city’s older housing stock.

FAQs

It ranges widely — re-shimming a few piers is a different job than replacing structure across a whole house. An inspection and written estimate is the only honest way to price it.

Usually, yes. We’ll assess access during the inspection and tell you upfront if anything special is needed.

We get the structure back to sound and level within practical tolerances — we’ll explain exactly what to expect before work starts.
