Im not sure if this should go here or under foundation problems, but here goes any way.
My foundation/slab has settled. I foolishly allowed someone to lift the foundation. So now the slab is down/settled. When they raised the foundation it lifted to exterior walls (which are load-bearing). Now the inside walls are falling, leaving cracks at the top. I already had gaps at the floor due to the raising of the foundation. Now all of my door frames are out of square and doors wont close.
What do I do? I feel like raising the wall and shimming them up will put everything back into square. Will it? And how do I do that?
What else can I do other than gut the house and start over?
