Warning: How to Fix A Sagging Beam

Fixing an under designed structural beam by adding LVL. Framing and carpentry skills needed to straighten the LVL, remove hangers, cut back the joists, add LVL, and the best tools for the job.

To be clear, this beam was not failing, it was not the engineer's fault. This design was submitted "prescriptively" and this beam was under designed by the draftsman and no one caught it. Now, its fixed.

Oh and another takeaway, if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like YouTube if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course https://sso.teachable.com/secure/2458... I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.
