Structural Repair (Post & Beam)
Many homes in and around Colorado rely on a post-and-beam type structure as part of the foundation. These assemblies can be found in basements and crawlspaces. As common as they are, these structures do experience wear and tear over time, and periodically need to be repaired, adjusted, or replaced.
​
Common issues are warped or twisted beams, and steel columns that are at an angle, improperly attached, or damaged by water or moisture intrusion. Occasionally the supports that should be steel are substituted with cinderblocks or other improper materials, or mounted onto thin concrete or with no concrete footer beneath them at all. All of these issues can lead to sagging, bouncy, or uneven floors.
A proper repair will ensure the beam is straight and in line with your floor joists, all steel columns are in good condition and of proper material to support the home, and mounted and attached to a concrete footer that is poured deep enough to withstand the weight. A solid and dependable post-and-beam assembly can support your Colorado home for years to come. Give us a call today for a free evaluation of your post-and-beam structure!
