Greetings!
I am an insurance adjuster who wants to write a fair estimate (No, really, I am!)
I am looking for some direction on the proper way to repair a concrete block stem wall on a home built in 1925. A car hit the home, pushing a few of the blocks back an inch or two.
I found a diagram on the internet that is pretty darned close to how the home is constructed. Between that and the pictures I am including, I hope that you can see what I've got going on.
Will it be necessary to lift and support the front elevation to make the repair? If so, what do I do about the cast iron waste pipe that is sticking out of the exterior of the house? It is my understanding that it runs from the kitchen and bathroom to the septic. Also, if the house is lifted and the service mast has to be detached, what interior electrical work will need to be done? Thanks for any assistance you can provide to me!
