But that’s a couple years down the road!

We had a similar issue with the entry way to our house on 7th St in Mankato. What is the condition of the flooring? We opened the floor used a house jack to raise the floor to level. We then poured a couple of 5 foot deep concrete pillars just short of the old foundation. Then added a post on top of each one. Then attached laminate beams to the house and extended it over to the posts. It would be like a deck only more permanent as nothing would be exposed to the elements except the concrete. The laminate beams went under the floor joists and reinforced the entire room. covered with the desired flooring and it turned out very well and we did not have to tear it off and the lean was corrected to a nice “square” 90 degrees.

If interested in a more in depth explanation give me a call.

It didn’t cost much and was the shortest way to an end. That’s if you want to keep the room.
