Another Basement Quality/Structural Integrity Question
One more question concerning basements and their integrity.
We have seen a house that appears otherwise nice but I have a question concerning the basement and structural integrity. There is one corner of this home where there is a concrete retaining wall coming off the basement, It is in the corner of the home. The interior of that corner, the part inside the basement, appears as though the concrete has "peeled away" from the corner a bit. This would be from the same plane as the retaining wall. There does not appear to be any shifting in the home, the bricks above the section have no indication of cracking or separation. There is absolutely no indication of dirt in or around the separation point and there is no track of water flow on the floor. In fact, the floor is dirty from the tractor, atvs, etc and shows years of wear on the floor that water would have disturbed. There are no disturbances on the floor.
Is the wall structurally sound? Should this be run away from or looked at deeper? Our realtor seems to think this is not a big issue as there is alot of rebar in the corners. I want to know what PPOT thinks.
Thank you!!
