Mono Post Installation

Mono Post Installation for Pier & Beam Homes

Mono posts provide concentrated support where a pier and beam home needs it most. Over time, original supports can sink, tilt, or fail to carry the load they were intended to handle. Installing new steel mono posts in the crawl space can help correct sagging floors, reduce bounce, and improve the overall stability of the structure.

Mono post work is often recommended after a crawl space inspection has identified areas where the home has lost support or where new load points are needed.

What Is a Mono Post?

A mono post is a vertical steel support installed beneath beams or girders in the crawl space. It is typically set on a properly sized concrete footing and adjusted to carry a specific portion of the home’s load. Unlike improvised supports or stacked blocks, a well-installed mono post system offers consistent, adjustable, and reliable support over time.

When We Recommend Mono Post Installation

Mono posts are commonly used when certain areas of the home show more sagging or bounce than others. This can happen in living rooms with long spans, hallways, or rooms where additional weight has been added over the years. Signs your home may benefit from mono posts include:

Floors that feel springy or bouncy underfoot
Localized sagging in specific rooms
Visible deflection in beams or subfloor
Cracks in walls or ceilings directly above crawl space spans

In some situations, mono posts work alongside other repairs such as wood beam (girder) replacement or joist replacement to fully restore support.

The Brown Approach to Mono Post Installation

At Brown Foundation Repair, mono posts are never installed as a quick fix. Our project planners determine the appropriate locations, footing sizes, and load paths before any work begins. Posts are set on solid, properly prepared supports—not directly on bare soil. We then adjust each post carefully to provide the right amount of lift and support without stressing the structure.

Mono post installation may be combined with crawl space adjustments to improve overall alignment and floor levelness throughout the home.

If you notice bouncy floors or isolated sagging in certain rooms, mono post installation may be part of the solution. Schedule a free evaluation with Brown Foundation Repair to see whether new supports, adjustments, or other pier & beam repairs are right for your home.

Major thanks to Lee for evaluating our home, preparing a budget-friendly quote and scheduling our foundation... repair. The crew arrived on time, Noe and Adan, answered our questions and offered information on what to expect after the work was completed. I am impressed by the care that was taken during this process: planning, working and clean up. I have already recommended Brown foundation repair to a family member.read more

Brown Foundation was fantastic. They saved our foundation (and wood flooring) from needing repair by... installing a proper drainage system around the house. It was pricy, but not nearly as pricy as the foundation/flooring repair would be five months down the road! Our supervisor Harold was great. He came out to our property several times to answer my many questions and make sure we were getting exactly what we needed. The work was neat and well-done. The only issue we had was not being told we needed electric work (it was on the estimate but not discussed, and we had to make a few calls to get it to happen) and the original placement of the pop-up valve was unwise (pooled water on the sidewalk instead of draining to the street). But any home project will have some bumps and miscommunications - the big difference is that Brown fixed these problems quickly and professionally. Wendell was especially helpful in fixing the back end of the project.Photos: note the muddy part of water pooling in our yard and into our foundation in the “before”, versus after.read more
