Thanks. I've kept my cool on here but trust me, I've had "some" moments and actually had to tell the owner I was DONE dealing w/ the salesman that sold the job.

Well almost 5 months to day the of notifying them of the problem, they are here starting the construction repairs. Thanks for all the positive comments. Hate to keep you hanging. Can't post pics until this is done and to my satisfaction (you know why). When done and I agree it was done to...

Sorry for the delay. Has been a slow process. Again, sorry to be limited but until this is fixed, I need to be. Can tell you what has been done. Engineer came out twice. Did the soil compression tests. Soil was good around and under footers. Footers were excavated and inspected and checked for...

Feet dragging.................. They tell me they are going to fix it but talk is cheap. I'm about to pony up, pull some 401K and sue them to tear it down and start over. The main problem is the fill. I will post details later when I can. What a F'ing nightmare!

I got a response from my ultimatum. I said I needed a written plan and timeline by next week or legal would handle moving forward. They are coming out w/ engineering firm on Tues. Will report back outcome of meeting.

Update: I'm afraid it going to become a legal issue. I'm going to pick words carefully here for obvious reasons. The 1st plan did not work for me. Then it's been silence and excuses for weeks now. I ran into the 3rd party engineer (who sides we me) at a NAPA and he said a little more...

Update: Sorry I can't elaborate much. Engineering discussions and recommendations have been made. The pictures saved my ***! Will update when we decide what is going to be done.

This. They have been out and we met. A structural engineer will be out this week. The owner said he will do whatever it takes to make it right. I will update what comes out of this afterwards. Can't comment until then. Sorry to leave you hanging. Also, as pissed as I am, bashing does not help...

Contractor is coming here in an hour. Also spoke with county office and inspector this AM. Will update after meeting today w/ contractor.

As posted before, house foundation was built 25 years ago.

Great idea. My wife just said the same thing before I saw your response. We had to go down to the clerks office back when we started this to fill out paperwork. I'm going to stop in Monday AM and ask about the inspection. She also suggested I mention that I have a structure that I think is...

Thanks, I will read through it. Update: I dug out my contract and it states "yes" for engineering inspection letter on foundation. That could mean anything. Will see what they say on Monday.

Are there any pics of this or link to thread?

Appeared mostly crushed stone. Keeps getting better and better. Did some more measuring and the entire slab has settled almost 1" on the side w/ the failing wall. The other side is still the original height.

In my "other" garage that's not falling apart!

Thanks for the above suggestions. To clear up the issue of fill from the house, the foundation from the house was built 25 years ago. So, the foundation of the house is not recent. House sort of, 9 years because of a fire. The garage was the recent addition. The driveway has been there 9 years...

I will see what I can find out this weekend. I received some feedback from them. They asked I fill out a warranty claim to explain the problems. I used some feedback/comments from here to explain the problem. I have also called a local foundation expert to come out and look at it. Will update...

Think considering the magnitude of the problem, I should start discussing w/ an attorney to just get my ducks in a row? My gut tells me that's where it's headed anyway. I'm thinking of having a foundation company come out and give a professional opinion so I can have another opinion on what...

I'm in Nashville and yes it was unusually cold here. Thanks for the comments/suggestions. I have not received a response yet (been two days). Maybe they are trying to get ducks in a row. I will wait one more day and take it up a notch.

This is all I have as far as pics of the progress. I would come home from work and take a pic of that day. Here was the first couple days.
