Wood Rot: The Bane of Post-Frame Columns

Since the 1950s, contractors across the country utilized post-frame construction to develop high-quality industrial and commercial buildings (more recently for residential). However, one common construction technique that keeps returning to haunt contractors is the direct placement of wood columns in the ground. Even when using laminated or treated wood, direct exposure to the soil will sap the treatment from wood and leave it vulnerable to moisture, bacteria and insects. Worse yet, when wood rot impacts a column, time- and cost-intensive excavation and replacement are some of the only solutions. For this reason, Anthem Built created an alternative to “standard” column repair.
