Reliable Floor Support Services in Willard and Nearby Areas

Welcome to Guardian Foundation Repair your full-service crawlspace company serving Springfield and all of Southwest Missouri. We are proud to offer our clients floor support jacks to help support their buildings and keep their houses from sinking into the ground. Our floor support professionals have been in the industry for years and know what they’re doing to properly brace the floor and restore support.

Floors are susceptible to bowing and sagging after time and use. Most casted floor supports as concrete and concrete blocks act like a giant sponge soaking up moisture in the air, and heat comes to dry it up. When this happens again and again, concrete becomes weak and fails. Wood can also become compromised by moisture, leading to wood rot.

Unfortunately, many wait until it is too late for the floors causing people to relocate themselves and their belongings while the internal floors of their homes are rebuilt. To avoid the costly expense of vacating the home and to avoid selling a house at a deep discount, folks look to add additional floor support.

Reliable Floor Leveling Services When You Need Them

Did you know floors sag in several ways? Sagging floor issues are developed over time. Floors sag and fail for these reasons:

  • A basement slab has sunk under a vertical post or/ or girder beam.
  • Girder beams are too far apart (greater than 10-12 feet).
  • Crawlspace concrete pier casts have settled in the dirt under the home.
  • Joists in the crawlspace have become compromised with moisture and caused a V sag.
  • Joists in the crawlspace have become compromised with moisture and caused a W sag.
  • Wood rot on floor joists in the crawlspace and wet basements.
  • An exterior foundation wall has settled and caused the girder beam pocket to fall.
  • A fireplace hearth has inadequate support underneath.
  • Large aftermarket furnishings such as appliances, stone, water heaters, and bathtubs were placed in the home and needed additional support for the full weight in the area.

Here at Guardian Foundation Repair, we prevent floors from sagging by installing ultra-strong permanent galvanized steel floor leveling jacks and beams. We often add additional jacks to existing beams in crawlspaces and basements to provide additional support. Our floor support jacks come with a steel footer (designed to disperse the load) that isn’t susceptible to erosion like concrete. Here are the ways we correct sagging floors:
  • Ultra-Strong Permanent Galvanized steel floor support jacks with steel footers
  • 12ft supplemental beam installation with a pair of jacks to add support where no girder beam is present
  • We also offer joist sistering procedures to help reinforce old wood joists

Wood is an organic material that has been moving and settling for years, decades, and centuries in the home. It is not smart to try and correct the issue in one day. This could cause cracks and damage. That’s why at Guardian, we offer an annual maintenance plan to help gradually correct the issue. We will come back to tighten the steel jacks year after year (for an average of 2-5 years).

At Guardian Foundation Repair, we professionally diagnose sagging floors in Southwest Missouri, houses using a high commercial-grade self-leveling gyroscopic rotary laser. We collect data from above and down below, allowing us to be thorough and precise.

Customer Questions About Floor Support

Floor support jacks can strengthen framing and help correct floors that sag because of inadequate support beneath the home. The repair may also require beam or joist reinforcement, moisture correction, or foundation work if another problem contributes to the uneven floor.

A contractor places permanent support jacks beneath beams or floor framing to transfer the floor load to a stable base below. Depending on the home, the contractor may also add supplemental beams or reinforce weakened joists to spread that support across a larger area.

A contractor can install the support system during the repair project, but the floor may need gradual adjustments rather than one aggressive lift. Wood framing often develops movement over many years, and slow correction can reduce the chance of damaging walls, trim, flooring, or other finishes above.

Moisture-damaged wood, settling support piers, sinking slabs beneath posts, inadequate beam spacing, foundation settlement, and insufficient support for heavy loads can all contribute to floor problems. Identifying the cause helps determine whether the home needs additional jacks, beam or joist repairs, moisture control, foundation stabilization, or another solution.

A home may need more support when floors sag, bounce, slope, develop low spots, or show movement around walls, doors, and trim. An inspection can determine whether adding support beneath the floor will address the problem or whether damaged wood or foundation movement also needs attention.
