Older Homes in an Inner Suburb
Haltom City sits about six miles from downtown Fort Worth and is surrounded almost entirely by Fort Worth, North Richland Hills, Watauga and Richland Hills. As an established inner suburb, it has many older houses, and older houses bring their own foundation questions: pier and beam floors, past repairs and original plumbing under the slab.
Common Problems in Older Houses
- Sagging floors on pier and beam houses from crushed shims or settled piers
- Rotted sills or joists where crawl spaces stay damp
- Old drain lines under slabs that leak and soften the soil
- Earlier repairs that have shifted or need adjustment
Repair Options
- Pier and beam foundation repair and crawl space repair for raised houses
- Slab foundation repair with piers and lifting
- Plumbing leak testing before and after work
- Drainage correction to keep soil moisture even
Before You Hire
Ask the inspector to show you what they found, whether in the crawl space or in the elevation readings. Get the plan and warranty in writing, and check with the City of Haltom City about permits.
If the House Has Been Repaired Before
Gather any old warranty or pier log first. A transferable warranty from the original company may still cover some of the work.
Common questions
Is it worth repairing an older pier and beam house?
Often, yes. Much of the structure can be reached from the crawl space, and repairs like re-shimming and replacing failed piers are common. The inspection will show the extent of the work.
Should I test the plumbing in an older house?
It is a good idea before foundation repair, since older drain lines can leak under the slab and contribute to movement.
Do you serve all of Haltom City?
Yes. Include your ZIP code in the request.
How much does pier and beam repair cost?
It depends on how many piers need replacing, how much shimming is needed and whether any framing has to be repaired. An inspection of the crawl space is the only way to get a reliable number.
