Fix sagging floors and damaged framing
Years of moisture weaken floor framing. Older Triad homes can also have undersized girders or widely spaced piers that let floors sag.
Common structural repairs
- Sistering joists: fastening new lumber alongside damaged joists
- Adjustable steel support jacks on proper footings under girders
- Girder replacement or reinforcement
- Replacing rotted sill plates or rim joists
- New piers or footings where existing supports have settled
Do it right
Supports need proper footings, not just a jack on dirt or a paver. Lifting should be gradual to avoid cracking finishes upstairs. Some jobs may require permits or an engineer's input.
