Video Description

The 2nd story floor on one side of our 1940s lake house renovation had a noticeable low spot in the middle of it. This was due to cracked and sagging floor joists that were exposed when we demoed the interior. While some of the joists were just sagging due to a weak floor system in general, some had holes too close to the edge or a big knot that caused a crack and really weakened the joist, putting even more pressure on the surrounding floor joists. To fix this we needed to sister new joist to the old joist to stiffen and flatten the floor.
