When the Problem Is Below the Floor
A floor that sags, bounces, or slopes above a crawl space may involve joists, beams, columns or supports, footings, moisture-related deterioration, settlement, or more than one condition at the same time. That is why simply adding a support without understanding the cause can be incomplete.
Common Warning Signs
- Sagging or bouncy floors
- Noticeable slope from one side of a room to another
- Gaps between floors, walls, trim, or cabinetry
- Doors that have changed along with floor movement
- Visible movement or deterioration in crawl-space framing or supports
Structural Repair Is Property-Specific
Possible work can involve reinforcement, beam or joist repair, support adjustments or additions, footing work, moisture correction, or other measures appropriate to the actual condition. Structural wood that has been damaged by moisture may need a different response than a sound structure affected by settlement.
