This house was for sale with some old subsidence and repaired cracks. Our engineer investigation found that there had been some footing settlements due to loose material in the footing bases when the concrete was poured. And to complicate matters, since then seepage had been softening the founding material and causing more settlements. The seepage problem and this had stabilized the footings and now the the house is “sound-as-a-pound”.

Our investigation found that the damage was localized and the slab had no significant deflections in this area. Our expert structural engineer report recommended simple cost-effective grout repairs repairs.
