How to deal with the ground subsidence of stairs

Stair ground subsidence is a common problem, especially in old houses or buildings that have been used for a long time. It will lead to uneven and unsafe floors, and even lead to the loosening and collapse of stairs. Here are some ways to deal with the ground subsidence of stairs.

1. Check the reasons for the ground subsidence of stairs.

First of all, we should check the reasons for the ground subsidence of stairs, which are generally caused by foundation subsidence or unreasonable staircase production. Only by finding the reason can we take appropriate measures. If it is foundation settlement, it needs foundation reinforcement; If the stairs are not finished, they need to be removed, rebuilt or repaired.

2. Thickening of floor coating

Thickening floor coating is a simple and effective method. You can put a layer of reinforced wood or slate under the floor and reinstall the floor. By this method, the bearing capacity of the floor can be increased, and the risk of stair floor sinking can be reduced.

Repair the stair floor.

If the sinking of the stair floor is not serious, it can be repaired. The specific method is to clean up the debris on the ground first and stick the sunken floor back with carpenter's glue. The boards inserted in the ground can only be fixed with sawdust. After the repair is completed, wait until the wood glue is dry.

Step 4 reinstall the stairs

If the stair floor sinks seriously, then the stairs need to be reinstalled. This method needs to tear down the original stairs, re-measure and make them, and then reinstall them. The new stairs need to be made according to the ground conditions to ensure the stability of the stairs. At the same time, attention should be paid to the design and structure of stairs when reloading to ensure their safety and reliability.

To sum up, it is necessary to find out the reason and take corresponding treatment measures to deal with the sinking of stair floor. No matter the settlement of the foundation or the unreasonable fabrication of stairs, targeted measures need to be taken. Whether it is the thickening of the ground coating, the repair of the stairs or the reinstallation of the stairs, we should pay attention to safety and stability to avoid the problem of sinking again. .
