In an older Tampa home, the piers and footers holding your floor up may be a hundred years old. Brick that has gone soft, block that has cracked, and footings that were never sized right all end up in the same place: a floor that sags.
Original footers reach the end
In a home built decades ago, the footings under your piers may be undersized, cracked, or simply gone soft in the ground. Once the footing fails, the pier settles, and the floor above it follows.
New footings, poured properly
We excavate, form, and pour new footings sized for the load and set on proper bearing soil at the right depth. This is the part nobody sees and the part that determines whether the repair lasts.
Piers set plumb and true
New piers go in plumb, tied to the footing, and shimmed so the beam actually bears on them. A pier that is close but not carrying load is just decoration under your house.
Replacing a hundred years of wear
We have replaced entire sets of original footers and piers under century old homes. When it is done, the owner has a foundation that can carry that house for another hundred years.
