Identifying and Addressing Sagging or Sloping Floors in Your Home

If you've noticed a gap between your floor and baseboard, uneven or tilting floors, or a noticeable bounce when someone walks across the room, these could be signs of sagging or sloping floors in your home.

Unfortunately, these issues typically worsen over time and may indicate underlying foundation problems within your crawlspace. Left unchecked, serious damage can develop, either shortly after construction or years later as changes occur in the soil that supports your home. Beyond being unsightly, sagging and uneven floors can pose safety hazards to your family.

In a crawlspace, support for your home is provided by columns made from materials like block, brick, or even wood. These columns are designed to hold up the structure above, but over time, they may settle, providing less stable support. If these columns were placed too far apart, the support beam, or girder, connecting them can begin to sag, causing a ripple effect throughout your home.

Additionally, if the crawlspace columns and other materials are made of wood, they may deteriorate over time due to exposure to natural elements.
