Why Choose Us
A wooden piling life expectancy is around 30 years, depending on the type of wood, installation methods, treatment, age, and environmental conditions. Our team digs up, cuts the piling, and extends your foundation onto a sound footprint.
Is your house elevated with your pilings exposed below your home? These pilings rot/decay like any other wooden pilings, but in some cases, they rot from the inside out. This type of repair is called a Shiplap or Splicing of a piling.
This type of repair involves some of the same elements as the Piling Cap but instead of extending the masonary foundation to the sound wood a new piece of piling is spliced from where the existing piling was cut to the waler or beam above supporting the home, almost like a puzzle piece. The life expectancy varies depending on the type of wood, installation methods, treatment, age, and environmental conditions.
