My current home improvement job is redoing all my basement partition walls to make them float. I will then be able to adjust the teleposts as right now the floor joists rest on the partition walls. There was some uplift in the telepost's footings and other parts of the basement floor. About 1.5 inches max, enough to mess up the second floor walls ceilings and doors. I have to cut out all my teleposts and re cut them smaller as the original owner/builder put them in with very little downward adjustment.
Here's a good video on it:
