Upon entering the crawl space, the Design Specialist found that many of the wooden floor joists were sagging due to inadequate support from settling block piers.
Makeshift Support Measures
Makeshift, stopgap measures had been used previously to support the home's floor joists, but these solutions had proven inadequate over time.
