Reply to comment by obsdifly in The new house I bought has some shims underneath the floor beams, between the concrete support & the beam, that are failing. Who would I call in Springfield? A framing company? by jgj570s
That seems like a lot.

They are just small, square steel shims that don’t crush. On another note if you have deflection or sagging in your floor the problem most likely isn’t the shims. Either the support posts our joists are settling or moving. That’s what needs to be shored up

I know that the shims were identified as a problem… So I kind of want to start there and see what happens. So you're saying it's not the entire pylon holding up the beam, but it's some sort of metal box or something? Do you have a link to it?
