My floor joists are sagging off of the main beam by 1/2” causing the floor upstairs to be uneven only where the end of the joists meet the beam. The joists are notched and sitting on a 2x4 ledger. Some of them have splits coming from where the notch was cut.
I was thinking of lifting the joists level, filling the open space above the notch with wood, and attaching the joists with hangers. I’ve attached a picture of how it looks now.
I want to change the floors upstairs from carpet but need to address this first. Would using the hangers to eliminate the notch be the appropriate way? Thank you.
