When to Repair or Replace Your Basement Support Posts & Beams
Knowing when your home’s beams or columns need attention isn’t always easy. Michigan’s damp basements and crawl spaces can cause wood to absorb moisture, rot, or break down quietly over time, often starting at the base of the post.
Even homes without water issues may develop structural concerns if they were built with undersized piers, cinder block supports, or aging timber beams.
You may need post and beam repair if you’ve noticed:
- Uneven, soft, or sagging floors
- Cracking drywall or widening wall gaps
- Sticking doors or leaning doorframes
- Squeaky or bouncy floors
- Splintering, rotting, or sinking wood beams
- Shifted, rotated, or failing posts
- Damage from moisture, insects, or inadequate support
Older homes in Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Holland, and surrounding areas in Western Michigan are especially prone to these issues, but any home can experience them.
If you’re seeing any of these warning signs, our team can inspect your support system and determine whether replacement, reinforcement, or new steel I-beams are needed.
How Our Post & Beam Repair Process Works
We understand that structural repairs inside your home can feel disruptive. That’s why we’ve refined a safe, efficient repair process that minimizes interruption while protecting your home throughout every step.
Here’s what you can expect during a typical beam or column replacement:
- Temporary shoring is installed to safely support the floor system while repairs are underway.
- Failing beams, posts, and piers are removed, making room for new structural components.
- New concrete piers are formed and poured (as needed) for proper load capacity.
- Steel support columns are installed and adjusted to meet engineered specifications.
- A new steel I-beam is placed, providing durable, long-term support.
- Temporary shoring is removed, and your home’s floors and structure are secured.
Our team handles the entire process, including permits, inspections, and installation, ensuring repairs meet Michigan building standards and deliver long-term stability.
