Repair Your Sinking Floors

Do you have sinking floors in your home? Aside from the annoyance of uneven floors, this could be a sign of a much larger issue. Whether you have a crawl space or not, any home can experience sinking floors at some point in time.

Depending on the severity of the sinking floors, it may be difficult for some homeowners to identify the problem before it becomes even worse. If you think you notice even subtle signs of your interior floors starting to sink, it's best to call in an expert right away to inspect.

Our team at LRE Foundation Repair is happy to provide a free inspection for sinking floors to help you fix and restore your home.

What Causes Sinking Floors?

Sinking floors are more than just a problem with your floor. The reason for your interior floors to sink is caused by a much larger problem with the structural stability with your home. Floors will most likely not sink on their own and will only experience this problem from a much stronger force that causes them to sink.

Foundation Settlement Foundation settlement is one of the main culprits for sinking floors inside your home. As your home's foundation settles, it puts an immense amount of pressure on the structure of your home. The pressure can cause your floors to sink into the ground as your foundation settles.

Foundation settlement is caused by shifting soils in the ground. Changing weather conditions can cause the soils to shift and result in soil displacement.

When it rains, the ground becomes saturated with water and saturates the soils. The soil saturation causes them to expand and move from their original position.

Dry weather conditions cause the soils to contract and creates voids in the soil. The constant expansion and contraction causes the soils to lose their support and causes your foundation to settle into the ground.

As your foundation moves downward into the ground, the floors inside your home can lose their support and start to sink.

Sagging Floor Joists If you have a crawl space, the floor joists in your crawl space have a big impact on the structural stability of your floors. The floor joists in your crawl space can start to sag, resulting in sinking floors inside your home.

What causes floor joists to sag? Crawl spaces are damp places in nature, which makes them prone to moisture issues. As the moisture builds up in your crawl space, it can create a very humid environment and cause your wooden floor joists to become weak.

Your weakened floor joists can then start to sag because they can no longer support the weight of your floors about them. As a result, you will notice uneven or sagging floors inside your home.

When Toby bought his new home in Beverly Hills, Florida, he noticed water pooling along the side of his driveway and in front of his garage, caused by the slope directing water toward the house. Our team at LRE designed and installed a custom exterior drainage system to fix the problem for good. We added an enhanced channel drain in front of the garage, connected it to an underground drainage pipe, and tied in the home’s downspouts to safely redirect water away from the foundation.

Now, Toby’s property stays dry and protected — and he couldn’t be happier with the results!
