"5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pinnacle Foundation Repair did a fantastic job from start to finish. Justin and his entire team were professional, responsive, and explained everything clearly from the very first inspection. Out of all the bids I received, Pinnacle had the most accurate measurements and the best understanding of what was truly going on with my foundation. Their evaluation numbers matched exactly with what I was seeing inside my home, and they took the time to explain every detail so I actually understood the process. The crew who did the work were polite, hard-working, and left everything spotless. The cleanup was excellent, and the office staff stayed on top of communication the whole way through. Even when there were plumbing testing issues with a subcontractor, Justin personally followed up and made sure everything was handled properly. Pinnacle stands behind their work and goes the extra mile for their customers. I highly recommend Pinnacle Foundation Repair for their honesty, precision, and professionalism. They are the best choice if you want your foundation repaired the right way — by people who care."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.

It’s possible to drill into an LVL beam, but you should always avoid it. LVL beams are major structural components of your home, and drilling into them can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you need to drill into an LVL beam, consult a structural engineer. They’ll know the bit size, depth, and directionality that’s safe to use when drilling.

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.
