Makeshift Crawl Space Supports
Upon inspecting the crawl space, the Design Specialist found numerous makeshift wooden supports for the floor joists above. These stopgap measures had proven inadequate in providing the necessary support for the home's floors.
Sloping Floor Joists
The wooden floor joists of the home showed signs of sloping due to insufficient support, resulting in instability of the floors inside the house.
Damaged Floor Joists
Due to wear and tear and insufficient support, the wooden floor joists in the crawl space had shown signs of splintering and deterioration.
