Foundation problem?
Comments (5)Just went out and that corner has sunk a little more, gonna cut it short. With regards to the downspout i have a 3 feet extension at the bottom so it flows away from the foundation, the problem is though the rain has to go up a couple inches to get level with the grass then flow away. So it tends to fill with water bit but nothing gets out by the foundation. What do you guys suggest to fix it though? Another engineer or go straight to a mud jacking company?...See MoreFoundation Problem
Comments (3)Honestly, this is a bit hard for us to evaluate and give advice based on the pictures. You should get a foundation pro to take a look and come up with a plan of attack. It is not a good idea to jimmy rig up something that might not work when you are dealing with a footing of the house. Also, since the soil has been disturbed, it will have to be compacted and they should do a soil compression test....See MoreFoundation problem cover up

Comments (3)I greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks for reading! My daughter needs her own shower. My plan is to rip out the tub and shower and install a full tile shower. The tub cracked first and we stopped using it. It continued to bow and crack for a few years. What appears to be water damage from the shower actually appeared after we stopped using the shower. The damage occurred over several years but seems to have stopped or at least greatly slowed now. I have not had to shave doors in a few years. The large cracks have not changed in a few years. Some external cracks have grown a lot in the last few years though. A home was built next to ours a few years ago and a few months later a soft depression formed on our side of the fence but it never changed after appearing. We have a lot of crumbling and cracking stucco problems. Our house is 11 years old. We live on a gentle hill slope and get seasonal downpours. There is a downspout near the trouble bathroom area but it has always drained well away from the house and has a good grade. We moved a piano a few feet off on the floor above the basement bathroom but the problem began well before we got the piano....See MoreHU-248891484
