We had our foundation inspection last Friday and there are a couple of places that need some work. Both the east and west walls of the foundation have been laterally displaced toward the east. This means that the foundation moved, but the walls of the house didn't go with it. So, the walls of the house are sitting an inch or so on the foundation and the rest of the width of the walls are hanging out over thin air.
The foundation inspector explained that the fix is not ridiculously expensive (like most foundation work), and that it's a pretty easy fix. The contractor will basically build a second foundation under the parts of the walls that are not supported. Sounds easy enough, right?
The next battle: getting the sellers to pay.
