Our award-winning independent structural engineers and home inspectors are knowledgeable about the home you are looking to purchase, the foundation problems you face and the load-bearing-wall you'd like to remove. We understand how the soil and the structural mechanics associated with active soils can cause cracked walls among many other issues that homeowners face. We believe that exceptional client service produces quality projects and lasting relationships, and this core value drives all that we do. We truly value our clients (and it shows), because they arent simply our clients, they're our neighbors. Crosstown Engineering values expertise, professionalism, honesty/transparency and these are the core values that drive our 3rd Party Services.
"To start off the reception clerks are extremely rude, condescending, and abrupt. They definitely need to brush up their customer service skills. The inspection was conducted by an underling who basically just took elevation readings around the house and walked away within 28 minutes. This process according to them was supposed to take an hour and a half. They are now trying to make me pay for a report which they have not even given me. Utterly unprofessional, inept and would definitely not recommend this company."

You should replace floor joists as soon as you see clear signs of structural trouble—sagging floors, wide wall cracks, uneven door frames, wet or rotting wood, persistent squeaks, or windows that no longer latch. Tilted or sinking supports in the crawl space are another red flag. If you notice any of these signs, call a pro right away to keep your home’s structure safe.
If the joists are exposed from below, a pro can swap them out without touching the finished floor above. In an unfinished basement or crawl space, you’ll often see the joists and can easily reach them. When insulation, subflooring, or finished flooring blocks access, the crew must remove these materials before repairs can begin.
Sistering allows a pro to reinforce a cracked or undersized joist without tearing up the entire floor. The contractor slowly raises the frame, then fastens a new joist snugly against the damaged one to share the load. When done correctly, sistering restores full structural strength and keeps the floor level without the cost of a complete replacement.
Floor joists installed correctly in a stable environment can last for 100 years or more, often outlasting the house itself. However, termite damage, moisture, leaks, and other problems can significantly reduce a floor's lifespan. For instance, if the floor is exposed to consistent moisture, you'll likely need to replace the joists every 20 to 30 years.
Homeowners' insurance covers floor joist damage resulting from sudden and accidental events, such as fire, windstorm, or water damage from a burst pipe. It will not cover repairs resulting from gradual deterioration, poor maintenance, or termite infestations. Review your insurance policy and consult your provider to verify the conditions that guarantee full coverage. Doing so ensures you are fully aware of your responsibilities and can plan your repair work with complete confidence.
Floor joists are essential structural components that provide a stable foundation for your home. They directly transfer the weight of floors, furniture, and occupants to the foundation, ensuring stability and a safe living environment. Without these robust beams, the structure would face compromised load distribution, leading to potential safety hazards and costly repairs. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for long-term durability and safety.
