Between it and the end joist just 12 inches away there was a 5 8 inch drop.
The floor joists that sit on top of the beams run perpendicular to them and are cantilevered as they extend past the beam.
In my son s bedroom there is a raised spot in the floor along one of the joists.
One of the joists close to the end joist of the house had a very significant crown in it.
How to repair a crowned floor.
If the floorboards absorb humidity from the air or moisture from.
I went into the crawlspace with a level and that joist is bowed up about 3 4 to 1 compared to the other joists on either side of it.
The joist on the other side of the crowned joist was properly level meaning it was in plane with the end joist.
In other words they are unsupported where they end under the long walls.
Like cupping and buckling crowning is a defect a wood floor can develop when exposed to moisture.
