Sloping Floors & Sticking Door Issues Resolved with Joist Support Systen in Fond Du Lac, WI
This homeowner was living with sloping floors, sticking doors, and interior doors that would no longer close properly—common signs that the floor system beneath the home was no longer receiving adequate support. During our inspection, we found that aging support posts and weakened crawl space framing had allowed portions of the floor structure to settle over time. In older Wisconsin homes, shifting soils, moisture, and years of structural movement can all contribute to sagging floors and uneven living spaces. To restore support and help stabilize the home, we recommended installing the SmartJack Structural Support System.
After
Our crew installed the SmartJack Structural Support System beneath the affected floor framing, placing each galvanized steel support on a properly prepared engineered base to provide long-term stability. The SmartJacks were carefully adjusted to lift and reinforce the sagging floor system, helping improve the slope of the floors and allowing several interior doors to operate more normally. The homeowner now has a stronger, more stable floor system and peace of mind knowing the home is supported by a permanent structural repair.
