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.
I'm sure I need to add way more info...just not sure what's relevant.
Crawlspace. There are piers....but they appear to be wood. Wood piers in the ground, connect to wood posts/beams above ground. As expected the wood has started to rot and the whole wood foundation needs to be replaced.
This is in the PNW and earthquakes are possible, thus my preference for a concrete foundation(rather not get into the debate about how house would be effected from earthquake).
This is not a foundation repair situation...this is a foundation replacement situation.
What else can I tell you?
? I didn't know you could have a blank post...
Well that's not I typed lol
