What causes floor joist damage? - alexaflair - 06-12-2025
Floor joist repair is a crucial task when dealing with uneven floors, squeaking sounds, or structural weaknesses. Floor joists can suffer damage due to moisture, rot, termite infestation, or the natural settling of a building over time. Ignoring these issues may lead to more severe structural problems and costly repairs. Common solutions include sistering the joists, adding support beams, or completely replacing the damaged sections. Proper assessment is essential to determine the best method of repair. Hiring a professional ensures safety and durability. Addressing floor joist repair early helps maintain the integrity and longevity of your home’s flooring system.
