Publish Not your original work? Add source For those who do not see the least bit of entertainment in the procedure called 'structural inspection,' we may prove to you it can be as intense as watching a world cup finale. Especially if we're talking about the findings made by California-based Alpha Structural, Inc. These guys have seen it all-from rotting decks to crumbling foundations, falling walls, and very ingenious "we have it at home"-type of solutions. But that's the job of these experts who are used to running into structural disasters where instead of cement holding it all together, you get pure luck. So buckle up and scroll down for Alpha Structural's most recent discoveries that will make you sigh, gasp, and even emit one or two swear words. And after you're done, be sure to check out our earlier articles about Alpha Structural, Inc. here, here, here, and here.

This owner had undermined almost the entirety of his home by digging underneath the slab and excavating around the piles. There had been a minor mudslide and they decided it would be a good idea to create more space underneath... The grade of soil used to be up to the concrete slab above. Believe it or not, the property had not yet been red-tagged.

AlphaStructural Report Final score: 50points POST Alexandru Bucur Alexandru Bucur Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Well, technically, the jack has more structural value than that flimsy bit of wood. I don't know why people in the US insist on building houses like this, because this is the structural equivalent of putting high heels on your house - instead of dissipating the forces, they are concentrated in single points and you absolutely will have uneven settling sooner or later, which means that the house itself will sag differently at different points. The flexibility of wood can help mitigate this effect a bit, but it only goes so far. Besides, what's with all the untreated pine used for structural purposes? Pine is probably the wood that rots the fastest, so you're just making sure you have to replace bits all the time or have the house rot out from under you. 41 41points reply View More Replies...

Mr. Holmes is a really good guy. The show is based in Canada, but we are fortunate enough to get to see him on DIY and HGTV. That is about the only show I watch any more. Fortunately, where we live, it is impossible to have basements in homes as the ground here is way too unstable. So we don't have to deal with failing walls or unsound basements or "sump pumps."

AlphaStructural Report Final score: 50points POST Alexandru Bucur Alexandru Bucur Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Well, technically, the jack has more structural value than that flimsy bit of wood. I don't know why people in the US insist on building houses like this, because this is the structural equivalent of putting high heels on your house - instead of dissipating the forces, they are concentrated in single points and you absolutely will have uneven settling sooner or later, which means that the house itself will sag differently at different points. The flexibility of wood can help mitigate this effect a bit, but it only goes so far. Besides, what's with all the untreated pine used for structural purposes? Pine is probably the wood that rots the fastest, so you're just making sure you have to replace bits all the time or have the house rot out from under you. 41 41points reply View More Replies...

Mr. Holmes is a really good guy. The show is based in Canada, but we are fortunate enough to get to see him on DIY and HGTV. That is about the only show I watch any more. Fortunately, where we live, it is impossible to have basements in homes as the ground here is way too unstable. So we don't have to deal with failing walls or unsound basements or "sump pumps."
