Understanding Post and Pier Foundations
Post and pier foundations have been used for 
decades to support homes in areas with unstable 
soil, moisture problems, or sloping terrain. Their 
raised design allows for efficient air flow, easy 
access to utilities, and flexibility where traditional 
concrete slabs aren't ideal.
This system relies on vertical beams or pillars—
usually concrete, steel, or treated wood—that 
transfer the house's weight to stable soil 
beneath.
