The ground in Concord
How Does Concord Soil Affect Floor Framing?
The USDA sample inside Concord is mostly Iredell soil, a brown clay. In a USDA sample of five points inside Concord, three are Iredell, one is Mecklenburg and one is Cecil. Countywide, the most common soil in Cabarrus County is Enon, on more than a tenth of the land, with Cecil, Badin and Mecklenburg behind it. The USDA rates the sample inside Concord very high for swelling and shrinking, which means it swells a lot when it gets wet and shrinks a lot as it dries.
Iredell is a soil that formed in place as darker rock rich in iron and magnesium beneath it weathered, usually found on Piedmont uplands. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is brown clay. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains a little slowly, so it can stay wet for short periods in a wet season.
Mecklenburg is a deep soil that formed in place as darker rock rich in iron and magnesium beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is loam, and under that is yellowish red clay. It drains well.
What It Means for Your Home
- What to watchWhen clay swells and shrinks under the piers and footings, the beams and joists they hold up can shift out of level. Damp air rising from the ground can also soften the wood over time.
- Signs you might noticeLook for rotted floor joists, broken or cracked joists, and sagging floor joists.
- How we address itWe recommend an inspection for floors that slope, sag or bounce, because repairing one joist costs far less than repairing many. Repairs can include sistering floor joists, sagging floor repair and sill plate replacement, and crawl space encapsulation can keep the air around the new wood drier.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Concord, the survey maps Iredell, Mecklenburg and Cecil series. USDA rates the soil very high for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 11.5 percent). Across Cabarrus County, it maps Enon, Cecil, Badin and Mecklenburg series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Iredell and Mecklenburg.
Our approach
How Do We Approach Framing Repair in Concord?
Framing repair is the work of restoring the wood structure that holds your floors up: the joists, beams, girders, sill plates, and support posts in your crawl space or under your first floor. In Concord, most framing damage comes back to one thing, moisture.
We treat framing the way we treat every structural problem, by finding the root cause before recommending a repair.
Our process has three steps:
- An inspection of the framing and the conditions around it
- A clear explanation of what is failing and why
- A repair matched to the actual damage
Depending on what the inspection finds, we:
- Sister and reinforce weakened joists
- Install steel repair plates and new joist hangers
- Replace beams and girders that can no longer carry load
- Swap out rotted sill plates and support posts
- Level sagging floors with proper shims and jacks
- Address the wood rot at its source
Just as important, if a board is cosmetically marked but still structurally sound, we will tell you it does not need replacing. The goal is a floor system that is sound, supported, and matched to what your home needs.
Warranty terms, with their conditions, are on our warranties page.
