Sagging Floors got you down?

​

​No worries. Rotten Floor repair is one of the most frequent service calls we get. Flooring systems go unnoticed until they start sagging and cracking. A good solid floor can last for many years. However, just like anything else, they wear out over time. Most damage is caused by water leaks or termites. This results in a very unsafe condition. Correcting the problem in time will save you money because the damage only gets worse. ​Dry-rot is the condition when wood gets wet and doesn't get a chance to dry out. Eventually a fungus will start to grow and feed on the wood fiber. The only fix at this point is total replacement of the affected areas. The Handyman Hotline is very skilled at repairing rotten floors and joist. By adding structural components to your existing framing, we can shore up weak and sagging floors. This is done by installing new footers and piers, floor joist and beams underneath your home. We can correct most flooring problems that we encounter.  The 5 main points of reference that you must look for are:

1. Floors bounce when you walk on them and very soft or spongy

2. Furniture and appliances lean 

3. Cracks develop along ceiling next to trim

4. Doors and windows do not open and close properly

5. Drywall in house starts to crack especially around cased openings
