Annual Floating Stair Safety Inspection in Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville Floating Stairs offers annual safety and maintenance inspections for floating staircases we installed — and for systems installed by others that owners want independently assessed.

Epoxy anchors relax over time. The initial torque value drops as the epoxy creeps slightly under sustained load. In a household with daily traffic, this relaxation is predictable and manageable — but only if it's monitored. A floating stair that starts with perfectly torqued anchors will have measurably different anchor torques after three years if it's never re-checked.

Jacksonville's humidity cycles stress hardwood treads seasonally. Wood expands and contracts, which works against the hardware that holds each tread in place. Over years of cycling, this movement can work fasteners loose if the connection system wasn't designed with enough clamping force. We check each tread during the annual inspection and re-torque where needed.

Coastal locations near Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach see accelerated hardware corrosion even on indoor stairs if the house isn't tightly sealed. Salt air finds its way in. We check fasteners, rail hardware, and any exposed metal for corrosion — and replace or treat before the corrosion reaches a structural component.
