Earl, in your opinion, is a structural engineer the right call, or a foundation specialist (read mason) that can come in and put in a proper pier system?

It doesn't need analysis. It needs work.

i'd call out an S.E, he'll recommend the right fix, and what ever you do, DON'T REMOVE THAT SCREWDRIVER. the whole house will fall.

When I'm under a house like that, I think about the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz...the one that got squished when Dorothy's house fell on her. I'm afraid my foot will accidentally kick the wrong thing and the headlines will read "Home inspector killed by house."

Tear down and start over in my opinon. SE in this case will cost you a fortune and will recommend the same. Think of the loggical remedies, to replace the framing and the foundation supports you would have to jack up the building and do all the work from underneath. Not knowing what the dwelling looks like but the framing, I would suggest tear down.
As a Home Inspector, I guess I would report what I see and explain verbally to the client what is involved and let them decided what they want to do. As Roy C. would say, write everything and talk alot or something like that. Educate the Client and let them make the decision. Marcel |
