Another significant difference between a slab foundation and the pier and beam is that the latter is more of a maintenance type of foundation. When we say this, we don’t mean that slab foundations don’t ask for any maintenance. What we intend to imply is that they don’t require regular check-ups. At Foundation Repair Garland TX, we always advise our clients to check their pier and beam foundations at least once a year.
