Existing Conditions
This is the sewer pipe at ground level where it comes down from the second story bathroom. For many years the connection to the ground lateral pipe was leaking. This has caused slumping of the soil and movement of the bricks and mudsill. The pipe has been fixed but the weight of the building is causing almost a 3-1/2" drop. We have researched leveling the building and learned that that process will damage the plaster and possibly pop out the windows. So we are planning to freeze it in place. Section 3A Below
Solution
Architect Kirk Peterson and Engineer Gene St. Ong have drawn up plans for how and where to support the building to keep it from slumping further. We are working on getting the permits and have found a contractor to do the work when the permit is issued. (Section #3a on the plan is the first section to be repaired.)
We will be replacing the jacks under the laundry room (indicated as #3 on the plan) with wood. Once the foundation is properly framed we will replace the deteriorating bricks and mortar on the corners. This work should be completed in the near future.
