There were conditions present in the structural support system that indicate there has been a liberal approach to proper installation practices. This type of installation has the potential to become problematic in the future. Temporary support posts or poles were noted. They are improperly installed and of an amateurish type. They look like someone is attempting to use a “Temporary Support” in place of a permanent one. We recommend having a licensed structural engineer OR competent and licensed foundation contractor review these … Then service, repair or replace the supports as needed to safely and properly correct them.
