[MassHistPres] Can sloping floors be corrected?

[James Hadley]

Marian,
Sounds like the sills have rotted. means the house will need to be jacked up and new sills installed. Needs a look from a knowledgeable engineer, architect or contractor.

  Can sloping floors be corrected in a circa 1913 two-story home with a fieldstone foundation?  The sloping floors only occur in the two front rooms on the 2nd floor.  They slope downward toward the front of the house.  All other floors in the house appear to be level.  And if so, what sort of contractor would I contact for an estimate?

   

  Thanks for your help!
