How Do I Fix Uneven Floors?

Unlike many property issues, uneven floors almost always require professional attention. This is because of the complex range of factors that can be involved, but also because of the special tools and skills needed to repair the issues. The solution depends on what has caused the unevenness to begin with, but some possible solutions are: 

• The IntelliJack™ System 

The IntelliJack™ system is a unique and durable system of crawl space jacks that can be tailored to suit almost any home. This option has the added benefit of being the only solution that will stabilize the soil under it as well as supporting an uneven or sagging floor. Made from galvanized steel, these jacks are water-resistant and incredibly strong. 

This means that the IntelliJack™ System is a permanent solution that will not let you down! It is also fairly easy to install (for a professional) and can be put in place within a day with minimal excavation and noise. As such, this is a strong option for anyone whose floors are sagging as a result of damaged supports, joists and other localized issues. 

• Helical Piers 

Foundation repair is never a small task, but helical piers are minimally invasive and give quick results when properly installed by educated professionals. These foundation piers are best for properties that are too light for push piers or located on challenging soil. If your floors are uneven because of a sinking foundation, helical piers can even be used to lift your property back into place! 

Foundation repair is, of course, an intensive process that can be disruptive to your property and requires specialist tools. As such, you should never attempt to repair your foundation alone. Not only could you injure yourself or someone else, but you also run the risk of making the problem far worse in the long run.
