Jacking Up A House To Level Floor. The ones in the photos above are actually not the ones we ended up using. A 20-ton house cannot be jack up in a single day.
Use the other nonsagging beams as your ideal so that you can bring all of the houses beams back into a level arrangement. Determine how far the middle of the house needs to be lifted. Take the jack off after some time and stabilize or re-level the flooring.
Slowly jack up the floor.
You can rent heavy-duty jacks but a rented hydraulic jack would be underneath the house for a very long time running up charges so youd be better off owning them. Take the jack off after some time and stabilize or re-level the flooring. Jack the beam up slowly so that it can gradually shift and readjust until level again. If your hardwood flooring wasnt installed correctly it can take as little as a day to pull it up and put it back down correctly.
