Mukilleo Blvd., Everett <br />�o�c� �- ac�� <br />As requested I have met you at the above address and reviewed the situation at the northeast corner <br />oi Ihe existing house. The house was originally built elsewhere and broughl to the site and placed on <br />the concrete block foundation. The house was a brick one story house. There is a daylight section <br />approximately 18'-6" that extends from the center of the home to the north edge. <br />The NE corner has settled significantly. The footing is poured on the ground at grade. There is a <br />downspout at this location with what appeared to be a broken drain pipe underground. The soil <br />appeared to be sandy. Tlie owner said that the area to the north of the house had been fiiled in the <br />pasl and the broken concrele stacked walls constructed which stair step down to the north. The <br />nearest wall would normally be considered far enough away that it would not have contributed to the <br />settlement, bul since the area had been filied this assumption is not conclusive. <br />As the house has been in iCs currenl condition for some time, and the future of the house given the iot <br />size and location is uncertain, the minimum repair was requested. This scope is subject to personal <br />opinion but we a�reed that the minimum to be removed was approximately 6-10 feet along the east <br />side and about 8'6" along the north wall. The footing would be removed and replaced with a footing <br />and stem wall. The footing would bear 18" below grade. The portion of the norlh wall removed would <br />be repiaced wilh a wood 51-2 shear wall we designed and detailed to transCer the shear from this <br />portion of �he house tc lhe new footing since we could not con(irm that the existing CMU piers were <br />re:nforced. The footing would be a typical 7x16" wide with 21t4 bars and #4 hook bars at 18" o.c. A 6" <br />stem wall is to come up to grade. <br />Delails and supporting calculations are attached. If you have any further questions or I can be o( any <br />fi�rther assistance please call me at the above numbers. <br />2�1�� <br />Rick Heide, P.E. <br />President <br />Attachments <br />
