What you see: Structural columns are the vertical members that support a beam in the basement of your home. They may be made of wood or steel and damage can come in a few forms such as: Sagging floors, a hump in the floor, rust or corrosion cracked columns, leaning columns. The solution: Structural columns can be replaced. The footing for the columns should be verified if possible to be sound and stable and appropriate for the loads (if you are changing them). Then schedule 40 adjustable steel columns can be custom made to your needs and installed to be ICC compliant. All columns should be positively attached to the footing and the beam above for potential earth movement or structural movement.
