Support Settlement and Movement
Piers or other supports can settle, shift, or become inadequate for the loads they are carrying. The pattern should be evaluated across the structure.
Wood and Framing Conditions
Beams, joists, subfloor components, and connections can deteriorate or deform. Structural repairs may need to address damaged framing in addition to elevation.
Leveling and Support Adjustment
Repair can involve controlled support adjustments, shimming, added supports, or component replacement. The appropriate correction depends on what is actually causing the floor or framing movement.
Crawlspace Moisture and Drainage
Moisture and drainage problems can contribute to wood deterioration and soil changes. Crawlspace conditions should be considered as part of the overall repair picture.
