Why do I have two concrete peirs (20"DX48"HX32"W) in the basement? Do they help the structure? The house was build in 1957 and the basement of of cinder blocks, if it helps
This. They can only make lumber lengths so long, so to make the house longer than what lumber can be, it's divided up. And lets assume they did make em longer, it would probably still be needed anyway to distribute weight and avoid sagging. Think of the piers on bridges. Same idea.is there a beam on top of them and the floor joists on top of that? If so, that is what holds your house up in the middle.
