Our highly skilled technicians will perform a thorough assessment to pinpoint the underlying causes of your uneven floors and recommend the most effective foundation repair strategies to restore your home’s balance and stability. 

What Are Uneven Floors? 

Uneven floors are what it sounds like—the surface level of a home’s flooring is no longer level, leading to an inconsistent and unstable walking surface.  

These irregularities can manifest as raised humps, sunken areas, or slopes across different parts of the floor, contributing to an overall sense of imbalance.  

Uneven floors are often symptomatic of deeper structural issues, such as foundational shifts, or moisture-related problems in the crawl space. When left unaddressed, these uneven surfaces can not only become a safety hazard but may also indicate worsening structural problems that could have broader implications for your home. 

What Causes Uneven Floors? 

Several causes contribute to cause uneven floors: 

1. Foundation Settlement 

If the soil underneath your home is unstable, it can lead to uneven foundation settling. This is often triggered by the soil’s moisture content fluctuating between wet and dry conditions, which can result in foundation misalignment. 

2. Floor Joists Failing 

In houses with crawl spaces, the wooden beams that support the floor—known as floor joists—may deteriorate over time. Moisture infiltration is commonly the culprit, often because of inadequate crawl space sealing. Regular inspections for moisture and mold can help catch this issue before it worsens. Installing crawl space encapsulation can prevent moisture build-up, safeguarding your floor joists from damage. 

To ensure a long-lasting remedy for uneven floors, our inspectors carry out a detailed inspection of all relevant foundation elements to identify the problem’s core. 

Can Uneven Floors Be Repaired? 

Yes, identifying the root cause is the first critical step in providing targeted and effective repairs for uneven floors. Once the underlying issue has been pinpointed, our skilled technicians can develop a customized repair plan tailored to your home’s specific foundation requirements.  

This customized approach ensures that the repair methods employed will be the most efficient and long-lasting solutions for your particular situation. By taking into account the unique characteristics and needs of your home’s foundation, we can deliver precise and durable repairs, giving you peace of mind and a level floor for years to come.
