I am so damn tired of this house...
I am so damn tired of this house... we just bought it last year riddled with settlement issues(didn't know what that stuff was at the time) and now I think we discovered why. previous owner def concealed this.
I've attached a video. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rlj8dqjH2b8CXgVvLsirVZhx1LIThtFF/view?usp=sharing
We dug this up because it's where water is seeping from basement wall. no bowing or anything just a tiny bit coming through the wall, no streams of water or anything.
We tried to waterproof it(blueskin and liquid rubber) but I'm almost positive this will happen again over time if not here somewhere else.
how would you fix this problem? it happens only when it rains. So no pipe or sprinkler system leaks like I mentioned in video. That was ruled out.
house is splitting from the middle. across all the beams in basement , horizontally through house, on every floor the center has a line across wood flooring lining up with beams. Some areas 1/4 inch others barely half of that. But it does go accross the entire house at varying severity throughout( worst on second flr). Will add more photos later.
could this be my only problem or could it be even worse?
how would I stop this? I'll add more photos if it lets me
also I'm worth mentioning I'm on a hill. my house had a retaining wall to level the yard out and a drywell. no water coming into drywell when it rains.
there's also a few pipes going in there I think from my neighbors too
property is 0.36 acres and half of it is a lawn on a retaining wall.
im posting this in landscaping and in foundation issues subs for help
The water is seeping in from around 4-5 feet down.
Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
