Bouncy floors can worsen over time, so it’s important to consult a crawl space repair professional like Matvey Foundation Repair as soon as you notice any of the above signs.

Causes of Bouncy Floors

Floors in your home might bounce for the following reasons:

• Joists that are too long or spaced too far apart can result in bouncy floors.
• Moving or incorrectly placed posts, beams, and other support structures don’t provide your floors with the necessary stability.
• Moisture, pests, wood rot, and other factors often weaken joists over time.
• Heavy furniture and appliances might overload joists.
• Shifts in your foundation put stress on floor supports.

Identifying the specific cause of your problem is critical for successful repairs.
