When to Adjust Telepost?

Teleposts should never be adjusted by more than small amounts at a time, especially on newer homes. If this is done too quickly or improperly, large cracks may suddenly appear in walls in the home or flooring may become loose or squeaky. A rule of thumb is to do adjustments no more than one half a turn at a time.

How can I improve my telepost?

To raise the telepost you will want to be sure that this distance gets bigger as you turn the nut. Never raise it more than about 1/4 inch per month, or even slower if you have a very old house with plumbing in the centre.

How do I move my telepost?

Without getting into complicated specifics, the easiest way to move a post is to strengthen the floor system that it is holding up. This may be accomplished by adding extra joists or beams or simply reinforcing the existing components.
