I need some advice. We have a 135 year old house and the upstairs floor is sagging.

So the upstairs main room floor (2 story house) is sagging a little and I want to pull the flooring up and sister the joists. I don’t want to take the sag out because that would create a ton more work (drywall) with the ceiling on the first floor. The ceiling has been repaired several years ago to fix some cracks from the sag. After replacing the floor I would feel confident that the floor was strong and flat and I would not worry about further sagging. What would you all do in this situation? Any advice on this matter would be much appreciated. submitted by /u/wayne_brettski_ [link] [comments]
