Expert Pier and Block Replacement in Lafayette, LA
Pier and block replacement is one of the most common foundation repairs we perform for Lafayette, LA homeowners. Raised homes across South Louisiana sit on pier and block systems that take on moisture, soil movement, and storm stress year after year. Over time, blocks crack, piers shift, and wooden components rot from the ground up. When that happens, floors start to slope, doors stick, and walls show cracks. At La House Moving and Leveling, we inspect the full crawlspace, identify every failing support, and replace what needs to go. We lift the structure, pull out the damaged piers and blocks, and set new supports at the correct height and spacing. Lafayette's expansive clay soils shift with every wet and dry season, which means the replacement work has to account for that movement from the start. Once the new piers and blocks are in place, we level the home and confirm the structure sits square and solid. If your floors feel soft or your home looks like it's settling, call us to schedule an on-site assessment.

FAQ
Pier and Block Replacement FAQ
Common questions about pier and block replacement in Lafayette, LA.
Replacement is needed when the piers or blocks are cracked, crumbling, or have shifted out of position beyond what shimming can fix. A crawlspace inspection in Lafayette will show us exactly which supports are failing and which ones can stay.
In most cases, yes, you can remain in the home during the work. We will let you know before we start if any utilities need to be temporarily disconnected.
Lafayette's clay-heavy soils expand when wet and shrink when dry, which shifts supports out of position over time. Moisture exposure, wood rot, and termite damage to surrounding structural members also speed up pier and block failure.
Yes, replacing failed supports and re-leveling the structure directly corrects floor slope caused by foundation settlement. Once the new piers and blocks are set at the right height, the floor system returns to a level plane.
Yes, we walk the full crawlspace before any work begins to assess every pier, block, beam, and joist. That inspection tells us the exact scope of replacement needed for your Lafayette home.
Yes, South Louisiana's high moisture levels and flood history mean supports must be sized and positioned to handle soil that moves with every rain cycle. We account for those local conditions in every replacement job we do in Lafayette.
