Advice about foundation problem please ?
Hi question about a rental property I own? One if my rentals seems to be having some foundation issues. I received a call from a tenant that the front door wouldn’t lock. I looked at it and it seems to be that the door does not line up with the latch anymore(Door and Jam less than 2 years old). On inspection I found small cracks in a couple of the rooms in the house that were not there before. I also found some slight shiftiness(Less than 16th of an inch) in a couple blocks in the basement. It’s
Definitely moving. It’s also on a hill. My question is who would I call for this ? A good contractor or a structural engineer? Any advice would be appreciated!

You could start with a good contractor. They may be able to assess what is going on, and if they can fix it refer you to a foundation repair company. If you already have a trusted contractor, go that route. if not, contact the foundation repair company directly.
