Elemental Effects

One of the most common weather effects that plague a pier and beam foundation is often the reason why it’s installed in the first place, and that of course is water, the bane of any foundation. Pier and beam foundations are used to elevate the home in particularly rainy or flood prone areas to keep the house protected from flood water, yet standing water underneath the home still condenses and affects the wood above. This can lead to mold, mildew or advanced degradation of the materials. To bring the right attention to these effects, we invite you to call Temple Foundation Repair.

Whether through using inferior products in its construction, or through being exposed to water over a period of time, advanced rotting can begin to show in your pier and beam foundation long before it should have given the lifespan of the foundation materials.
