This restores the stability of your home and instantly creates a more comfortable indoor climate. Request a free quote today or read on to learn how we carefully handle this.
How does a sunken floor develop and when should you intervene?
A sagging floor is usually caused by prolonged moisture in the crawl space or by the age of the wooden beam structure. The beams can sag or weaken, causing the floor to sink and lose its load-bearing capacity. In addition, foundation movements can affect the floor structure. Cracks in walls, a sloping floor surface, and gaping skirting boards are often the first visible signs.
Many people think that leveling or installing a new floor will solve the problem, but that doesn't address the root cause. A sunken floor will continue to sink as long as the wooden structure remains damaged. Early intervention prevents further damage and ensures your home remains safe and stable.
What are the benefits of a Compofloor renovation floor in case of subsidence?
A sagging floor requires a structural and durable solution. Compofloor replaces the entire wooden substructure to prevent the subsidence from recurring. Our prefabricated renovation floor is airtight, lightweight, and provides a stable base for any finish.
How do you replace a sunken floor with Compofloor?
At Compofloor, we start by removing the entire wooden floor structure, including any joists affected by subsidence or moisture. We then install our prefabricated floor cassettes on the existing foundation. Thanks to the unique anchor system, the weight is evenly distributed across the foundation walls, ensuring the floor remains stable for years to come, even in older homes.
Then, all connections are sealed airtight. This eliminates drafts and cold air currents from the crawl space. Because Compofloor is a dry construction system without pouring concrete, there are no long waiting times. The floor is immediately ready for further finishing, and the house can be used again quickly.
How much does it cost to repair a sunken floor?
The cost of repairing a sunken floor varies from house to house. The extent of the subsidence, the floor area, and the foundation situation determine the required work. That's why Compofloor works exclusively with customized quotes that are fully tailored to your situation. What we do guarantee is a transparent quote. No surprises, no hidden costs, and always clear communication about the work. Thanks to our efficient prefabrication method, the total renovation time remains short and the costs manageable.
What benefits do you experience immediately after recovery?
Repairing a sunken floor with Compofloor not only solves the problem but also significantly improves your living comfort. The new floor immediately feels more stable, warmer, and healthier.
Is a sunken floor always a foundation problem?
Many residents think that a sagging floor automatically means a foundation problem. However, that's not necessarily the case. In many older homes, the cause lies in the wooden floor structure itself. Due to moisture, mold, or aging, the joists lose their load-bearing capacity, and the floor sags.
Compofloor specifically addresses these types of problems. Our system completely replaces the wooden floor and utilizes the existing foundation. This often eliminates the need for extensive foundation work, and the floor structure is fully restored.
Can you repair a sagging floor yourself?
For DIYers, it might seem tempting to level a sagging floor themselves or replace sections. Unfortunately, this is often not a permanent solution. Without a professional inspection, the cause is difficult to determine, and repairing without replacing the underlying structure can lead to further damage.
Compofloor offers a safe and durable solution that replaces the entire substructure in a single installation. This prevents recurrence of subsidence and ensures that your home remains stable and safe for the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a sunken floor and a foundation problem?
A sagging floor is often caused by weakened floor joists or moisture problems, while a foundation problem has to do with the supporting structure beneath the house itself.
How can you test yourself whether your floor has sunk?
You can use a spirit level or marbles to check if the floor surface is uneven or if furniture shifts spontaneously, which indicates subsidence.
Can a sunken floor damage the rest of the house?
Yes, a sagging floor can lead to cracks in walls, sticking doors and problems with pipes due to uneven loading.
Is a new finished floor sufficient to remedy subsidence?
No, a finished floor only visually conceals the problem; the subsidence will continue as long as the substructure is not replaced.
How long does a Compofloor remain stable after replacing a sunken floor?
A Compofloor lasts for decades and remains stable thanks to moisture-resistant materials and anchored installation on the existing foundation.
Does a sunken floor affect the value of your home?
Yes, a sunken floor can negatively impact the value of your home, while a professionally repaired floor actually contributes to value retention and marketability.
