Why is my crawl space sagging?

Section diagram

There are a variety of reasons for your sinking crawl space. Your crawl space is supported with a number of horizontal beams and vertical support posts. When these fail, the structure above fails too.

Root causes 3 most common

Tilted, uneven, sinking, or rotting supports due to moisture. If you notice dampness or warped beams, you have found the source.

Existing brick or block columns were spaced too far apart during construction, overloading individual beams.

Columns sink or settle due to weak soils, creating a gap between the column and the girder it supports.

Sagging floors frequently asked questions

A general rule of thumb is to worry if they slope more than an inch and a half over twenty feet. Uneven floors can become dangerous, so it's important to have a professional complete an inspection as soon as possible.

Plenty of old homes have uneven floors due to foundation shifts over time. However, to prevent costly repairs down the road, you should consider having an expert complete a comprehensive inspection.

Sinking floors may be due to a foundation problem such as foundation settlement, or due to moisture in your crawl space leading to wood rot and a weakened structure.
