Helping a Madison Heights Homeowner with Sagging Floor Issues!
Challenge
Todd in Madison Heights, Virginia started noticing that parts of his floor felt soft and bouncy when walking through the house. At first, it was subtle, but over time it became clear the problem wasn’t improving on its own.
Wanting to get ahead of the issue, Todd reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions for a crawl space inspection.
Once we got underneath the home, we found sections of the floor system lacking proper support. Some of the joists had weakened over time, allowing the floors above to sag and flex.
Solution
To restore stability, we installed SmartJack® supports beneath the affected areas of the home. We also added a supplemental beam to better distribute the weight and provide stronger overall support.
In areas where framing had weakened, we completed joist sistering to reinforce the floor system and strengthen the structure.
By the time the project was complete, the floors felt solid and secure again. Todd now has peace of mind knowing the structure beneath his home is properly supported with a long-term solution in place.
