How Can Sagging Floors Be Repaired?

A sagging floor is almost never a problem with the actual floor itself but rather a problem with the floor joist that’s meant to support it. When a floor joist in a ventilated crawl space is damaged, it’s usually because of wood rot or water damage, which are both caused by poor waterproofing solutions. Luckily, not all is lost when you have damaged floor joists. Replacements can be costly, but with a support system like SettleStop IntelliJack™, you can repair your floors in no time at all.

SettleStop IntelliJack™ is a crawl space stabilizer that helps failing joists support your floor. SettleStop IntelliJack™ is more than a simple support jack: It makes sure that the floor stays even perpetually because it does not rely on unstable soil. This means that, regardless of the soil conditions in your crawl space, the support jacks will not budge. SettleStop IntelliJack™ is made of non-corrosive galvanized steel, can be installed in a single day. Each support jack is rated to support up to 24,860 pounds.

SettleStop IntelliJack™ can only be installed by Innovative Basement Authority experts. It’s not advised that you attempt to repair your sagging floor yourself and going into a structurally unsound crawl space can be dangerous. It is also not advised that you attempt to mimic the results of SettleStop IntelliJack™ using other methods, since the outcome will not be the same without the knowledge, tools, and material used by professionals.
