Evaluating existing timber piers after Katrina
Evaluating existing timber piers after Katrina
(OP)
I have been asked by an Architect to evaluate the piers and slab of a house that was ripped off as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The homeowner is planning on building the same house.
The slab looks pretty intact, as the timbers piers do. any suggestions?

I appreciate the advice, however I can not dig around the piers since there is a slab (kind of like a mat foundation) which I am assuming the homeowner was using to park cars.
That was the slab I was referring to in my message. If you would like I could send you a photo? I am actually evaluating this case from photos.
Thanks
