Greetings guys. I'm looking at getting back into the house flip or rental game and ran across an interesting option. It's a larger house with four bedrooms and an unfinished block basement. It needs a lot of work, but the price is right.
Apparently at some point in its life, I'm guessing that the basement walls started to push in, so someone repaired this issue by pouring a new inside wall with concrete, which is approximately one foot thick, around the inside of the entire basement. While it looks like it fixed the issue and has been there for a while, it's the first time I've seen this type of repair. (It is a lot of concrete.) Is this a valid way to repair the basement wall issue? Will it last? The basement appears dry and the structure seems sound. Just curious overall. A couple photos attached.
Thanks.
