Does a Saggy Floor Mean Structural Damage?

This beautiful home we visited was built in 1928 — almost 100 years old! That's our Professional Engineer (P.E.), Mr. Herbert, looking into a crawl space older than his grandparents.

When we assess older homes, we have to figure out what's causing the sagging. A lot of the time, old houses get what's called "Old House Syndrome" — naturally, over the years the house settles, causing uneven floors or creaky floorboards that give the home its character and charm. In this case, there were 2 joists that had sagged beyond standard settling. Because of the limited access, we weren't able to assess the exact cause of the damage, but it's most likely related to water rot or a leak caused by the AC unit above the joists or plumbing nearby.

Our recommendation for the homeowner is to have a contractor remove some flooring to get better access to the joists. If there isn't water rot, floor jacks can typically be used to raise the joists and improve the floor's condition.

Is This Wall Load-Bearing?

That's what our client asked us to figure out last week. We got eyes on-site and were able to access the trusses to answer our client's questions, giving them peace of mind as they plan their renovation.

If you're unsure about a renovation project and need to know whether something is load-bearing, or if you need engineering drawings on how to properly support a load-bearing wall, give us a call or shoot us an email to get started ASAP!

Truss the Process

We just wrapped up a structural inspection here in Pensacola, Florida. This client had a worrisome crack in their drywall, so we came out to investigate whether there were any underlying structural concerns.

Their roof system was a bit complex — a mix of trusses, vaulted trusses, and rafters — which made navigating the attic tougher than normal. Thankfully, we were able to fully inspect the roof framing and give our client peace of mind.

If your house needs an inspection and you're not sure where to start, give us a call — we'll take care of it for you! We keep the process as simple as possible: our Professional Engineer comes on-site and gives you an expert opinion that'll help you sleep at night.

So give us a call or shoot us an email to get started ASAP!

Thank you, Kayci, for the kind words! We love helping real estate agents give their clients peace of mind during a home purchase.

For this inspection, we put together a structural evaluation with several key reference points, making it easy to spot any changes down the road — whether from future work or storm damage. It's a great tool for homeowners, especially when it comes to insurance claims or simply having peace of mind about your home's structure.

Thank you, Zach, for the kind words! We were happy to help by inspecting a wall to determine whether it was load-bearing, then putting together a quick letter for Zach to submit to the city — making everyone happy in the process.

Thinking about building a barndominium in Florida? Watch this before purchasing a package.

In this video, we explain the 3 critical things you must verify — including Florida licensed structural engineering, Risk Category 2 requirements, wind loads, and foundation design under the Florida Residential Building Code (FBC-R).

Many pole barn packages are not engineered to meet Florida’s residential standards. Make sure your structure is designed properly before you buy.
