A BEDROOM FLOOR COLLAPSED DUE TO WOOD ROT OF STRUCTURAL MEMBERS

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE OUTLET WAS BEING PULLED BACK INTO THE WALL AS THE FLOOR SANK.

THE ONLY ACCESS TO CRAWL SPACE REQUIRED EXCAVATION THROUGH CLOSET FLOOR.

(Left) THIS IS A VIEW OF THE COLLAPSED FLOOR FROM UNDERNEATH.

I CONSTRUCTED TWO 8 FOOT BEAMS SPANNING THE LENGTH OF THE ROOM

SIX POSTS WERE INSTALLED ONCE THE ENTIRE FLOOR WAS JACKED SLOWLY BACK IN PLACE.

THE HAZARD WAS IN THE WEIGHT OF THE FLOOR ... VERY HEAVY!

DONE!
