Why Longview floors slope
Floors in Longview's older homes — from the 1920s planned-city era through the 1960s suburbs — can drop for many reasons: a post rotting at the base, a pier block settling in damp soil, a beam sagging between widely spaced supports, or changes made during past remodels. Some floors have been out of level for decades and are stable; others are still moving.
What the work involves
Typically replacing or adding posts and piers at the right points and adjusting them carefully. If a perimeter foundation issue is involved, see foundation repairs in Longview. If moisture caused the damage, we address that too.
What affects the cost of leveling in Longview
- How much of the floor is affected

- Access in older crawl spaces
- Moisture repairs
Measuring and expectations
We measure the floor before work so you can see where it's low and by how much — and see the improvement afterward. In older Longview homes we focus on making floors flatter, solid and stable while protecting your finishes.
