Red is a concrete foundation. Black is rotting wood foundation that needs to be replaced.
Foundation issues suck. House has foundation issues. Most of the foundation will need to be replaced. Part of the house currently has a wood foundation which is rotting. There is an addition which has a concrete foundation. (See image above).
I know that the wood foundation can be replaced with a pier and post foundation. They can stabilize the house, dig and pour piers, then use metal posts to brace the house at the right height.
Is a pier and post foundation the only option? Is there a way to do a concrete foundation?
Edit: The image is a top down look at the perimeter of the house. The red part is a ~600 sqft addition. The black part is the main house.
TIL there is a such thing as a "wood foundation"..
I'm amazed at the concrete on top of it as well. Normally (in my house) it would be the other way around.
Exactly! The other way around would've only been done by someone who doesn't understand the concept of rot, afaik
