They were in such a hurry to build this house, they put the siding on before the poured the stoop!
If you look closely at the newly poured concrete you can see how out of plum, their entry door is!!!! Nuts!!!
Fast forward 30 years and the stoop has settled and pulled away from the house.
Also their asphalt was sinking along the garage floor.
What did we find? The foundation block dissolved away from years of winter melt trickling down the garage floor. Check out the photo!
Very common in Minnesota!
So we came in and core filled the garage foundation block, poured a new concrete apron and upgraded the stoop with proper waterproofing behind the concrete and new compound step!
The siding will be repaired next week by Mike Creapeu at Hammered Solutions!
