Pictures of Foundation and Structural Defects

In this picture, a section of wall has moved
out of plumb. Repairs will be recommended.

In this picture, we see a large enough crack
to be structurally significant.
Repairs will be recommended.

In this picture, we see evidence of a leak.
Repairs will be recommended.

In this picture, we can see a brick has moved
away from the structure, probably due to
moisture-induced settling.
Repairs will be recommended.

In this picture, the crawlspace has been
contaminated by moisture. It is likely that
a significant amount has actually stood and
left a high water mark. The foundation and
its components need to be evaluated by a
mold specialist; foundation walls, posts and
piers and intermediate floor framing need
to be evaluated by a foundation contractor;
and the site itself should be be evaluated
by a licensed geo-technical specialist or
evaluated for service by a grading and
drainage contractor.

Here we can see differential settling is
confirmed by the sloping floor.
Repairs will be recommended.

In this picture, the columns are indicative of
unprofessional and structurally suspect
installation. They cannot be endorsed and
should be evaluated by a licensed
geo-technical specialist.

In this picture, the columns have settled and
left the support girder unsupported.
Repairs will be recommended.

Here we can see there is evidence of moisture
damage and potential mold.
Repairs will be recommended.
