The first foundation repair company we had come out to give us an estimate said that 2 of our 5 main beams were cracked and there was some rotten subfloor. Obviously the foundation repair company has a profit to be made here; but after all, we called them.
When we bought the home, our inspector noted some minor foundation repairs had been done at some point in the past, but that a 50-year-old home should be pretty much settled in place. No cracking beams. No rotten wood. Just a typical 50-year-old home.
Well, the problems that have become obvious (actually re-surfaced) in just six short months appear to be more than "seasonal" or "cosmetic" in nature. At this point, I will definitely be gathering more independent opinions, as well as photographic evidence.
