Denton, MD sagging floor gets a much needed adjustment

Here is a great example of what many home builders use to "level" the floors after they are installed. If I had a nickel for every time I saw a little scrap piece of wood shoved up under a girder...I'd have a ton of nickels. It's strange that this is generally accepted because when you think about it, the whole weight of the home is resting on some thin little piece of wood. The best way to fix it is to add SmartJacks and shim up the piers with large steel plates.
