Post and Pier vs. Concrete Slab

[mella l]

Aloha Polly and welcome! We will be building in Eden Roc and will do Post in Pier construction for many of the reasons stated. Mostly bugs and to avoid moisture. My my in-laws build a high end home in Sutter Creek, Amador County, California. Really high end Frank Lloyd Wright type on slab. Well currently 18 months into the project they have water leaks in a gallery for art and in the laundry room. It will require removing the concrete and redoing the piping. Oh and the maple floors will need to be replaced as they have buckled and split. It is quite a shock for them as they had the best of contractors and no expense was spared, and the fix will be expensive and very inconvenient. For me I want my pipes under the flooring and not in the flooring or going over my head. Just a few more ideas to ponder. Mella L
