Floor Joist & Girder Repair in Chattanooga & North Georgia
Bouncy, sloping, or soft floors usually mean the joists or girders under them are damaged, undersized, or rotting. We sister or replace the damaged wood and add support so your floors feel solid again.
The problem we solve
- Moisture and rot weaken floor joists and girders over time until the floor starts to sag.
- Older homes often have joists that were undersized or cut for plumbing and ductwork.
- Ignoring a sagging floor lets the damage spread to the subfloor, walls, and doors above.

Good questions
Floor Joist & Girder Repair — common questions
The most common causes are moisture damage and rot in the joists, a girder that has cracked or sagged, or supports spaced too far apart. An inspection of the crawlspace shows which one it is.
Sistering means fastening a new, full-strength board alongside a damaged or weak joist so the two carry the load together. It is a proven way to strengthen a floor without tearing it up.
A slight sag is usually not an emergency, but it does get worse over time and can lead to cracked drywall, sticking doors, and more expensive repairs. A soft spot that gives underfoot should be looked at soon.
