Adding a Floor Support 

Your tone and the delivery made this easy to understand and made it way less intimidating

This made something that seems so intimidating seem not so scary and totally doable. Thanks!

I'm going to be doing this under a 120 gallon aquarium. Perfect video. Thank you!

I am definitely confident enough to tackle this job after watching this video demonstration. Will save me thousands of dollars!

Love your calm presence and understanding teaching style. Awesome video and very helpful.

Absolutely outstanding tutorial. Best I've seen on RU-vid. Thanks friend!!

love watching your videos man. Your channel is very underrated.

Some people won’t even attempt this. 😂 my home has old chimney brick and mortar supports which is crumbling. I can’t even get a contractor to do this job in our city. So the burden is left with me. Which I’m fine with 😊 I am a female who loves doing manly jobs including car repairs. Thank for showing me how these jacks work. 👍

Thank you so much. I' m going to follow you step by step. Wonderful video!

thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I just bought an old house that needs some crawl space TLC. Now I got an idea on how to do the job.

Perfectly explained! Thanks for the great video!

Wooden beam should have the screw adjuster at the bottom against the footing on the bottom with the wider surface area of the pipe against the wood, the way shown works fine for a steel beam

Thank you , very clear demonstration

Nicely done !

Great video thanks!

now I am confused, some people claim you can not put a post under - 3 - joists like that - the jack can only be put under - 1 - joist = which one is right, thanks for sharing

Wow amazing presentation. Subscribed!

Great tutorial! Thanks!

Thanks for the details and great illustration! I've read that "jack posts" are not recommended as permanent supports but rather temporary to raise or level floors and then replace then with appropriate material supports (lally post, wood beam, concrete ...etc.). I have two jack posts (16,000 lb capacity ea.) in place right now to slowly level the sagging floor. Once it is levelled, I was planning to find out what best material to use to replace the jack posts for "permanent" support. Your thoughts on that please. Thanks.

Yup, thank you

What if the the 6" carrying beam is missing is 2ft. a quarter way through and the 8" joists aren't level to left ?

My floor joists are 2x8 (undersize in my opinion) and they need some support. The previous owner tried to do this by sitting concrete blocks on top of the pea gravel and putting the jacks on top of the blocks. A couple of them have fallen out of place. But it seems to me that if the concrete block just sits on top of the ground it will heave with the weather, especially in the winter. Wouldn't those support blocks need to be dug into the earth to prevent heaving? I have also thought about sistering some of the joists to strengthen the floor.

So 1 floor jack is good enough for this support beam? How long should a support be before you add a 2nd floor jack? Thank you for the instructional video

Thanks!

The beams need replacing beneath the wall running with the floor joist not under the joist.should I build a beam setting right under the floor then replace the damaged beams ?

Do you anchor the jack to the solid concrete pad with some kind of screws at the bottom? Or do you just consider the weight enough hold the bottom of the jack in place on the concrete pad?

if you want to support or lift joists across 45 foot span would 10ft 4x6's be just a stable as 10ft 6x6's? (seems like there is more area on the 6x6 to provide stability to the jack or is that just irrelevant?) I'm planning on using two pole jacks per board placed 3.3 ft from each end. (thirds theory) I'm lifting the sagging joists due to a crushed center beam. Which will be replaced after the house is level again.

What is the name of the specialist that you are referring to?

What if your basement floor concrete is uneven ?

awesome vid. Question...I'm installing a 500 lb. wood stove in my 1878 home on the first floor. All I want to do is put a little support so my floor wont sag with the extra weight. My Joists are 2 1/4" x 8 " 16" apart. their in good condition. So I will need tall floor or screw jacks to do this. I will be spanning 3 or 4 joists. Do I need 2 jacks or would one be enough to help with the 500 lb stove ??

Do you have a link to the floor jacks?

Hi, is a solid concrete pad required if I am going to place the Jack in my basement? The Jack will be about 8 ft long without the concrete pad.

why use pressure treated lumber?

He said go take care of it I know you got better things to do.

Do you have a link to these jacks? Everything at Home Depot/Amazon seem more complicated/expensive than the jack you are using. Thanks!

You didn't incorporate the concrete block you just left it off to the side

Where can i buy this

Very Good!... 10 🐄🦉🏴‍☠✝

😎✌️

Awesome., Thank you for the video.... Mwahahaha.

He said "Chutzpah"

How come they never show how to support with ANGLED new supports in angled roof parts that people ACTUALLY don't know how to do?This isn't rocket science and similar repairs are all over RU-vid.

THANKS
