Bought a house built in 1936. Discovered that the staircase from the basement to the entrance level has significantly sagged.
Moved in 5 months ago
The attachment of the "beam" to the wall seems to have sunk or come loose.
However, I can't find any screws or attachment points for the beam when I look under the stairs.
Also cracked here
The steps appear to be slanted, probably what caused the cracking.
Do you think it can be saved, or is it better to possibly buy a new staircase?
Considering taking down the interior wall and lifting the beam by the wall, securing it properly and then tightening the steps afterward.
What worries me the most is probably the cracked beam that presumably holds everything up..
