Local context
Phoenix homeowners deal with foundation problems shaped by the Phoenix Valley metro's local soils, weather, and housing stock. A good local specialist should account for those conditions before recommending piers, wall repair, waterproofing, or crawl space work.
Scope of work
Pier-and-beam homes sit on a network of concrete or masonry piers supporting wood beams and joists above a crawl space. Repair work restores level by re-shimming or replacing piers, sistering or replacing rotten beams, and reinforcing the framing. It's the most-cost effective repair when the framing is sound.

Neither is inherently worse — pier-and-beam is easier and cheaper to repair, and the crawl space gives access to plumbing, but it requires moisture management slabs don't.
