Floors that slope or dip can be raised and supported from below, so rooms feel level and furniture stops rolling.
A floor that dips in the middle, slopes toward a wall or feels soft underfoot is telling you something about what lies beneath it. The cause might be a beam that has bent, joists that have rotted, piers that have sunk or too few supports for the load. Some sags are slow and gentle, others show up suddenly after a wet season or a plumbing leak.
We begin with level readings across the rooms and a close look at the framing below. Once we know why the floor moved, we raise it in small steps and add the support that keeps it there, whether that is steel posts, new piers, sistered joists or a replaced beam. We explain the plan first, so you know how much improvement to expect and how long it will take.
We take level readings across the rooms, then match them to what we see in the crawl space or basement.
A bent beam, a sunken pier, rotten wood and a missing support each have a different cure.
We raise the floor in small steps over days or weeks so plaster, trim and plumbing have time to adjust.
New posts, piers, beams or sistered joists hold the floor where it ends up.

You tell us what you have noticed, a crack, a damp smell, a sloping floor or standing water, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We look closely inside and out, measure floors and cracks, check moisture and drainage and take photos of anything of note.
We explain what is urgent, what can wait and what is optional, and give you a written scope and options.
We lay floor protection, mark utilities, protect landscaping and set up before any digging or drilling begins.
We install, seal, lift or repair with the right tools and materials, checking our work as we go.
We clean up, restore the surface, show you what we did, share care tips and set a reminder for your next check.
A bent beam, a sunken pier, rotten joists or too few supports can all cause it.
Often, within what the structure can handle. We lift slowly.
It can mean rot. It should be inspected soon.
Gradual lifting limits stress. Some small cracks in old plaster can still occur.
Support work takes a day or two. Gradual lifting may continue over a few weeks.
