Sometimes an update to your home such as a kitchen or bathroom remodel, or HVAC installation results in compromised structural members like floor joists and ceiling joists. It’s common for plumbing drain pipes to be modified to go through floor joists. If your home required a load bearing framing member to be cut or weakened for a renovation, it likely needs reinforcement. Bonds, plates, and floor joist can become damaged or rotted over time, causing structural issues to your home or building.
Flooring
Do you have uneven or sagging floors in your home? If so, a non-level floor could be caused by a number of reasons. Improper spacing of support columns, excess moisture in your crawl space leading to wood rot, or just shifting or settling of your foundation caused by soil movement. Whatever the reason for sagging floors, our experts will get to the root cause and provide you with a solution that will bring your floors back to a level state. There are a variety of methods that we use to level flooring. Adding wood columns, reinforcing with steal beams, sistering floor joists, beam replacement, jack posts, crawl space jacks, and more. Depending on your specific situation, we’ll implement the appropriate solution to eliminate your sagging floors.

We also specialize in basement wall repair. There are a number of reasons that could cause your basement wall to crack or bow. The most common cause of a basement foundation wall issue is the pressure from the soil outside of the basement wall. When clay soils get wet, it expands and places pressure on the wall. Sometimes the force can exceed the strength of the wall and the constant pressure combined with water can weaken the wall over time creating inward movement. Other factors include heavy rains, pressure from other structures such as driveways and porches, large tree roots, expansion due to frost, and poor grading.
Wood center beams become less reliable with age. We replace these beams with steel structural support and also add mid-span beams to support outer stresses and the floor joist level. Many of these types of structural issues can lead to sagging floors and significant long-term damage to the overall structural integrity of your home or building. We work with these problems and other major structural issues by providing all carpentry, concrete, and steel structural work.
