Thread: Jacking up the bearers

Jack up your bearer so it's straight and slide a new deeper bearer in next to the existing one and bolt the two together. Cut the new bearer over the brick pier so it has support. As you don't want to be doing it twice don't skimp on size, I'd use a 200*75.
ps: as a matter of interest how far apart are your piers spaced ?

The piers are 155cm by 160 cm.
My goal is to update this house so I can sell it.
The sagging floor is about a metre wide and I am now looking at possibly packing this area with a rubberised davco product then putting villa board on top then tile. Putting in a new bearer or new piers would take too long for the timbers to resettle? I'm not absolutely sure about this but now that i can see the problem Davco looks like an easy solution?
