Why Are My
Floors Uneven & Sagging?

When it comes to repairing uneven & sagging floors, it's important to understand their cause. Below are some of the most common reasons why the floor above your basement is sagging or uneven:

Wood Rot

When combined with high humidity & moisture, wood tends to become infected with rot. Wood produces a musty, earthy smell as the rot spreads and breaks down wood supporting your floors, causing them to sag.

Sinking & Settling Foundation

Another common cause for an uneven & sagging floor is a sinking and settling foundation. This is essentially the soil underneath or around your home, giving way over time, causing your foundation to shift and manifest itself in uneven floors and damaged frames.

Poor Drainage

Foundation issues don't happen overnight; it takes years of constant abuse for problems to appear. For many homes, poor drainage causes water to build up and manifest in foundation damage (hydrostatic pressure.)

Overweight

One of the least talked about reasons for a sagging floor is weight. Weight can cause girders and beams to lose their integrity over time, leading to a sagging floor.
