Cracks in Your Walls: What’s Really Happening Beneath Your Home

The Importance of Post & Pier Maintenance and Structural Safety

Non reinforced pier

When homeowners notice cracks forming in their interior or exterior walls, it’s often more than a cosmetic issue. These cracks can be an early warning sign of foundation movement happening beneath the home.

Underneath many houses, especially older ones, are post and pier systems designed to support the structure above. Over time, these posts and piers can fail due to soil movement, moisture damage, age, or improper installation. When they shift, sink, or deteriorate, the weight of the home is no longer evenly supported—resulting in cracks, uneven floors, sticking doors, and other visible signs inside the house.

In the images from this project, you can see failing and faulty post and pier components that were no longer providing proper structural support. Left unaddressed, these issues can worsen and lead to more extensive and costly damage.
