Are these foundation issues a deal breaker?
I'm a first time home buyer going through the process right now. Are these foundation issues typical for homes (this is a 1960s one) or will they be major fixes? Planning on getting a structural engineer to inspect as well but wanted to get initial input here.
- cracking in foundation stem walls (3 different spots)
- exposed footing on one side
- off-center support posts in the crawlspace
- undermined piers (soil eroded under multiple piers)
- lifting sill plate
- efflorescence on foundation walls (possible water issue)
- moisture staining on subfloor under the bathrooms
- sloping/unlevel floors throughout
