A common cause of this is bowed floors.  Most people including this homeowner wants the problem fixed but don't want to have someone come out and do it, so they will try a light-duty jack post. What is it you ask, well its a jack post you can purchase at your local hardware store and the owner can install it by placing a block on top of the soil and the jack on top the block then tighten it to fit against the girder.  Now, let's think this out.
