Professional Structural Repair Services
Uneven or sagging floors, sticking interior doors, and visible deterioration in crawl space supports can be signs that your home's floor-support system needs attention. United Structural Systems provides structural repair services focused on the joists, beams, support posts, and other components that help support your floors.
Our team begins with an inspection to evaluate the affected areas and determine whether repairs are recommended. If they are, we'll explain what we found and develop a structural repair plan based on your home's needs.
We Lift You Up Where Others Let You Down.
Signs Your Home Needs Structural Repair
Problems with the floor-support system can develop gradually. Changes worth having evaluated include:
These symptoms can have different causes, so an inspection can help determine whether structural repair is appropriate.
We make foundation repair, basement waterproofing, and crawl space services affordable with no-interest and no-payment financing for 12 months.
Common Causes of Structural Damage
The wood components supporting a home's floors can weaken or shift for several reasons. Common contributing factors include:
- Moisture: Persistent crawl space moisture can contribute to deterioration of wood joists, beams, and other supports.
- Wood deterioration: Aging or damaged wood may no longer provide the same level of support.
- Inadequate support: Some floor systems may need additional support or reinforcement.
- Movement beneath support posts: Changes in the ground beneath individual supports can affect the floor system above.
A structural repair contractor can evaluate the affected components and recommend repairs based on their condition.
Our Residential Structural Repair Solutions
USS provides residential structural repair focused on the components that support the floors of your home. The recommended repair depends on what we find during the inspection and which parts of the support system are affected.
Solutions may include:
- Adjustable steel supports: Jack posts or crawl jacks can provide additional support beneath areas affected by sagging or inadequate support.
- Joist repair and reinforcement: Damaged or weakened floor joists may be repaired or reinforced when appropriate.
- Beam and wood support repair: Deteriorated beams and other wood support components may require repair or reinforcement.
- Additional floor support: Certain areas may benefit from added support based on the home's existing floor system.
The goal of house structural repair is to address the affected support components with a solution suited to the home's condition and construction.
Benefits of Addressing Structural Problems
Addressing damaged or inadequate floor supports can help improve support for the framing and living areas above. Depending on the problem, structural repair may help address sagging or uneven floors and other changes associated with the affected support system.
The appropriate structural damage repair depends on which components are affected and their condition. That's why USS begins with an evaluation rather than assuming every home needs the same repair.
We'll explain what we find, which components may need attention, and the repair options available for your home.
