Greetings
Hi All
I just recently moved to my new home and everything is cool until I noticed the huge cracks on the column that supports on the horizontal beam. This is on patio. Pictures attached.
Home inspection did not notice it when he did the inspection, nor did I. The inspection person now says it is a natural phenomenon and nothing to worry about. Looking at the length of the cracks and the weight the column is supporting, I am unable to buy it.
The old owner says, it never bothered him and it is not something he did. I am assuming the cracks existed even before he moved in and deteriorated over a period of time.
At this point what can I do to fix it?
Is this a cause of concern ? is there a possibility the structure above can collapse if neglected?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
