palmettoinspect Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 The home I inspected had both brick and CMU piers. Mainly the brick piers were on the perimeter walls with a few CMU piers. All interior piers were CMU. Also the garage foundation walls were completely brick. The home was built in 1999. It's common to see independent brick piers in older homes around here, but I've not seen them used in a newer home. Anyone know a reason to use brick instead of CMUs like this?

AHI in AR Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I suspect that it was done either for esthetic reasons or in an attempt to save money. Possibly both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
