Slab foundation vs pier and beam foundation: which is better? #shorts

@atifkhan-ql3dp Жыл бұрын

Largest issue with pier and bean is leveling over time wood rots and warps so if you’re renovation one make sure to plan for subfloor repair and replacement

That goes for older houses with basements as well. I’ve been inside tons of old house built before 1900 with slanted and uneven floors, the foundations weren’t usually bad though, and the houses felt strong, it just shifts over time.

Where I live peer and beam is THE BEST. I live in a hilly area do alot of pepole have foundation issues. When you have a peer and beam the issues are much easier to ifx.

Every slab on grade structure i’ve ever been in had massive cracks and upsetting for various reasons. It’s a good floor for garages or utility buildings, but the same issues that effect houses with wood joists sitting on piers, also effect them.

Topography is certainly a factor.

I'm doing a self build. Probably slab foundation. So perhaps i pre empt the "future bathroom" by inserting large pipes that smaller pipes can be manoeuvred through later or as an update.

Depends what you are supporting, a mobile home all you need is footer pier under the frame cause it only touches the ground every 4 to 8 feet anyways

This is a concrete block. This is wood.

What’s the price per square foot of concrete if I wanted a contractor to pour a slab for let’s say a three car garage?

@axiomalpha 5 ай бұрын

Depends significantly on where you live. In general, if the concrete is poured on site then it'll probably be around $6-9 per square foot (that's labor + materials).
