Question: How to re-inforce sagging floor trusses to prepare for marble installation.

Name: homebild | Date: October 3, 2004, 19:35
Answer: If you really have floor trusses and they are already sagging, then the trusses are undersized and must be completely replaced or need to have beams placed perpendicularly under them to straighten the floor and increase their load bearing capacity. Any alteration to the floor trusses in your home needs to be co-ioridnated thru your local building code enforcement office and a local engineer/architect.
