Floor Load Question

Rajiv R.
Posted

This is for my current house so excuse me but I figured someone in the BP community will have  relevant knowledge or connect me with someone who does. 

I have an 8 x 4 foot, 1200 pound pool table on four legs that I want to move to the third floor of my 2 year old house (table is disassembled and mostly already up there).

The floor is built to handle 40 pounds per sq ft (I believe it takes 300 lbs concentrated). I am still weary of whether it would be ok to  do so without pulling up carpet and subfloor to reinforce joints. 

Are there any experts here who may be able to opine on this? Also open to referrals to a structural engineer to speak to about this, preferably in the next couple days. 

Thank you!
