This was after the foundation was given the OK by 2 separate inspectors and occurred due to lack of support under the house, soft soil in Florida, and lack of gutters to disperse rain water from the foundation.

Apparently the vacant lot next door used to be a Martinizing dry cleaners and the chemicals had penetrated the soil.

FOR EXAMPLE THERE MIGHT BE A HIGH NEED IN SALT LAKE CITY, BUT AN OVER SUPPLY IN SANDY.

Then there was the drought last year and the east half of the city is built on expansive clay soils so now there are a smattering of damaged foundations.

Thanks for the quick reply Sandy!!

Has to do with the soil.

NJ is in a state of flux if you ask me with the oustanding foreclosures and Hurricane Sandy so would be interested to hear from current property owners.

And the North American Porsche headquarters are moving their facilities from Sandy Springs to this area.

Hi Tyler, I live and sell real estate in Sandy.

@Paul SchanbacherThat bow is the wall yielding to the pressure /push of the soil and water on the outside.
