I'm remodeling my 120 year old house in the Boston area. I am an Architect and have done a few old buildings in the last 40 years. We presently have a 3 inch sag to the rear from the central beam. Our beam itself is well supported and has not sagged, but the joists were only 2x8 @ 16" spanning 13'-4". We will be supporting the joists with new screw-jack columns, beams and footings. We will NOT be jacking up the floor because of possible damage to the building. We WILL be leveling the floor by shimming and new underlayment after bracing. I would try to avoid jacking up the structure to level it. BTW if your new footings are within the conditioned area of the building, they need go only down to firm undisturbed non-organic soil. 4' deep footings are for exterior use to get below the frost line.
