Pier + Beam Foundation Repair

Be 100% confident in the foundation your home rests on!

Pier + Beam Foundation Repair

Pier and beam is one of the most established and widely used foundation types, with origins dating back over a century. Known for its durability and accessibility, this type of foundation features a framework of piers (vertical supports) and beams (horizontal supports) that hold up the structure. Pier and beam foundations are especially common in older homes and continue to be a reliable choice today thanks to their ease of access for plumbing, electrical, and repair work.

When you’re looking for a foundation repair company in San Antonio, Victoria or Austin, look no further. Our team can put forth the herculean effort required for high-quality foundation pier repair. The team here at Hercules Foundation Repair is equipped with three generations worth of foundation repair experience to provide any and all pier and beam services you could need.

How Does Pier & Beam Foundation Work?

A pier and beam foundation consists of a series of piers that are set into the ground — typically no deeper than 36 inches — and horizontal beams that span across them to support the structure above. These beams form the framework for the home’s subfloor, creating a crawl space underneath.

Pier and beam foundations have been used for generations and remain a reliable, time-tested option for many homes. While they were originally more common in older construction, they’re still widely used today thanks to their durability and accessibility.

One major advantage of pier and beam systems is how easy and cost-effective they are to repair compared to other foundation types. Because there’s a crawl space, contractors can access plumbing, electrical and foundation components without major demolition — making maintenance and repairs simpler and more affordable.

Home Leveling: A Key Part Of Pier & Beam Repair

Home leveling isn’t a separate service — it’s an essential step in the pier and beam foundation repair process.

Over time, shifting soil and natural settling can cause parts of a home to sink or become uneven. This often leads to sloping floors, cracks in walls and doors or windows that no longer close properly. When we repair a pier and beam foundation, we don’t just fix the structural supports — we also level the home to restore it to its proper position.

Using a combination of hydraulic jacks, new shimming and structural adjustments, our team carefully lifts and stabilizes your home to ensure everything is even and secure. Whether it’s replacing deteriorated piers, reinforcing beams or excavating soil for better access, home leveling is always part of the complete foundation repair solution we provide.

If your home feels uneven or out of balance, we’ll help bring it back to level — safely, effectively and built to last.

Ease Of Access

One of the biggest advantages of a pier and beam foundation is the built-in accessibility it provides.

With a crawl space beneath the home, technicians can reach vital systems like plumbing, electrical and HVAC without needing to cut through flooring or concrete.

This convenience often translates to faster service and lower repair costs for homeowners.

But Hercules takes that accessibility even further. In cases where the crawl space is too tight for safe or effective work, we offer professional soil excavation to create the space needed.

By trenching out areas beneath the home, we ensure our team can safely access and repair the foundation — without invasive work inside your living space.

10 Year Warranty

Even after a pier and beam foundation repair is completed, natural settling and soil movement can still cause shifting over time. It’s not a matter of if — it’s when. That’s why we back our pier and beam repairs with a 10-year warranty.

This warranty gives you peace of mind knowing that if any part of the repaired area begins to sag or shift during that time, we’ll take care of it. No guesswork, no surprises — just a level home, year after year. It’s our way of standing behind our work and making sure your foundation stays strong and stable for the long haul.
