Re: Basement main beam support at foundation wall
Was there an original main girder anywhere? If not, what was the width of the room and what size are the floor joists?

Re: Basement main beam support at foundation wall
Stay away from recommending a specific type of repair or defect. Simple is best.. Support posts appear modified and improperly supported. Recommend have evaluated by Licensed General Contractor prior to close for cost and repair estimate... Something to that line... It may turn out to just need support (not there, can not see) but it could be more extensive... Just be careful giving recommended repairs!!

Re: Basement main beam support at foundation wall
That section looks like a temporary fix to a weight problem.
What's above that section of sub floor as the beam location is unusual ? www.chicagopropertyinspection.com www.elliotthomeinspection.com www.chicagolandhomeinspection.com www.homeandcondoinspector.com www.homeandcondoinspection.com http://www.homeinspectorpro.com/ (Report Software) Bob Elliott  http://www.chicagolandhomeinspector.com/
