  • Number of piers and pier type

  • Interior or exterior installation and access

Before you hire in Richmond

Pre-war construction

25% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1980 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Permits: check with the Richmond building department before work starts.

How to compare piering and piling quotes

  • Ask for a pier layout showing locations and spacing.
  • Ask whether installed depth and pressure will be recorded for each pier.

  • Compare warranty terms and whether they transfer to a buyer.

Piering and Piling in Richmond: FAQ

Push piers are driven using the weight of the structure, which suits heavier buildings. Helical piers are screwed in and often suit lighter structures like porches and additions.
Piers can sometimes lift a settled area partway. The contractor should explain the expected result and risks to finishes.
Piering is structural work and usually requires a building permit. Check with your local building department.
