How to fix slipped joist bridging?

I want to fix an issue with the bridging I found while in my crawlspace. I believe the weight of a quartz counter in the area (installed by the previous homeowner) might be applying downward pressure on the joists, causing the bridging to slip. The house is from the 80s, and the prior owner did some updates to the house. My initial thought is to sister the joist and then install new bridging on either side. Am I on the right path here, or is there an alternative route I should take? submitted by /u/easycheeseygeezy [link] [comments]
