It may be that what is loosening the bottom plates is rust. The nearest I can remember, 1" of steel expands to 7" of rust, and, like freezing water, it WILL make room for itself. Look at an old car that is rusting out, and you will see that the seams are spreading and bubbling where the metal was overlapped and not properly sealed. If that repair has lasted this long the chances are that peeling the plates, cleaning the metal under them and re-welding may last as long as you need it to. The plates may not survive removal and may have to be replaced. If rust is the cause it will be pretty obvious when you take the plate off.
