In Fort Pierce's Lincoln Park Historic District, many homes built before 1960 utilize pier-and-beam foundations, which necessitate thorough subfloor assessment for structural integrity. Given Fort Pierce's 53.7 inches of annual rainfall, robust vapor barriers are essential for any flooring installed over concrete slabs to mitigate moisture intrusion.
