Century old brick pier homes around the square, sitting over sandy clay that holds damp all season.
The older homes around the Perry square are pier and beam, which is the easiest kind of house to have a sagging floor in and also the easiest kind to repair. Everything that carries the floor is accessible from the crawl space, so we can rebuild support point by point.
What causes it here is usually moisture. Sandy clay between Big Indian Creek and Flat Creek holds water, so the ground under the house stays damp, and framing that stays damp for decades softens where it bears. Add a pier that has settled into that same ground and the floor above has two reasons to drop.
We survey the floor with a level first, then get underneath and probe the framing to see what still has strength. Failed joists and girder sections come out, sound members get sistered, and adjustable supports on new footings take the load. Lifting happens over several days so the old plaster and trim upstairs come through it intact.
Our sagging floor repair scope is the same on every Perry home, whatever the Houston County ground turns out to be doing.
