Crawl Space Support Posts and Sagging Floors

Crawl space support posts and sagging floor repair with adjustable steel posts, concrete footings and sister beams that bring floors back toward level.

A bouncy or sloped floor often starts below it. Damp wood weakens, old piers settle, spans are too long for the original beam or someone cut a joist for a pipe. Posts, footings and sister beams add support where the floor needs it. Homes around Nashville with crawl spaces, especially older ones, often have sagging near the center or near a wall where moisture has been working on the wood for years.

We check the floor framing for rot, termite damage, cracked members and settled piers and measure how far the floor has dropped. We set adjustable steel posts on new concrete footings, add or reinforce beams and sister damaged joists with new lumber. We lift in very small steps over days, not hours, so plaster and trim are not damaged. We fix the moisture problem that weakened the wood, and where we find signs of insects or serious rot, we explain what a pest professional or structural engineer should look at. We never make a promise to bring a floor perfectly level.
