I wish I were writing this as a "what would happen" scenario, but unfortunately, this is a "so this has happened" post.
Background: I have a foundation wall that was poured about 1/2" too high. As a result, the floor has a noticeable slope as does the area upstairs above.
To repair, 3-4 joists were reduced by 3/8-5/8" towards the center of 24' joist with a 14" ht spanning about 10 feet of corrected area.
I am concerned about the repairs made and wondering if I am going to have problems in the future. Does anyone have experience with shaving the flange of BCI joist? LVL was supposed to be placed along the length of the joist, but there are gas lines, electric, water lines, and hvac all in the between the joist space.
The house has a 10-yr structural warranty.
