Scope of Work:
1. Install Temporary Jacking System
- Install approximately 82 linear feet of 6×6×16 pressure-treated temporary jacking headers.
- Install approximately 15 temporary 8-foot-tall 6×6 pressure-treated jack posts.
- Position temporary supports beneath the sagging floor.
2. Jack and Level the Floor
- Use approximately 15 hydraulic 12-ton jacks.
- Carefully raise the sagging floor as close to level as possible.
- Take precautions to avoid damage to existing plumbing, electrical wiring, and other building systems.

- Secure and stabilize the main beam with the additional supports.
4. Reinforce Floor Framing

Project Goal:
The goal is to stabilize the structure, correct the uneven floor, reinforce the main center beam, and strengthen the floor framing to help prevent future sagging.
