House Sinking in Carthage, MS
Challenge
For this customer, the condition of the home's flooring was more than just a maintenance concern, it was a safety concern.
After experiencing moisture and termite damage, the back left portion of their home suffered severe structural deterioration. Rotten subfloors, weakened joists, and a failing support beam had compromised the stability of the floor and caused the house to sink.
For most homeowners, uneven or weakened floors are frustrating. For this family, they presented an even greater challenge.
Their daughter relies on a wheelchair to safely move throughout the home, making a solid, dependable floor essential to her daily life. The goal was to create a safe home where their daughter could continue moving through the house with confidence.
Solution
After a thorough inspection by Andrew, he identified the home's most critical structural issues and developed a repair plan. John and his crew repaired damaged subfloor, replaced compromised floor joists, and rebuilt the deteriorated support bean in the most critical area of the home. Today, this family has something far more valuable than repaired floors, they have peace of mind. At Midsouth, we believe our work is about more than repairing crawl spaces, it's about protecting the homes where families live, grow, and create memories.
