What is a floor joist?
Crawlspace floor joist acts as a horizontal plane that runs from wall to wall, wall to beam or beam to beam. They help support main floors above the crawlspace. They are usually made of concrete, steel or wood. If you have moisture in your crawlspace, wooden beams are more susceptible to water damage and could encounter serious issues such as expansion and contraction. Steel floor joists are less likely to expand and contract so they won’t warp or crack. Call Affordable Foundation The Crack Guys today for floor joist repair!

How rotten wood in your crawl space is repaired
If your floor systems are damaged, Affordable Foundation The Crack Guys offers free advice on broken floor joist repair. We offer an encapsulation system that keeps water away from your crawl space and protects the structural integrity of your floor system. We also offer steel floor supports. Our custom built, Samson Floor Supports are adjustable and are built based upon measurements taken in your crawl space. They sit on a concrete pad, not dirt, which offers more stabilization rather than others who install a support that sits on the ground which shifts over time and may lose contact with the floor system as it settles.
