In the 19 years they have owned their property, <br /> the southeast corner of their property has settled approximately 3.5ft.They have had emergency repairs on their gas <br /> line because they frequently notice that it has shifted down the side of their house by 1ft or more,which has caused the <br /> gas pipes to have to be dug up and replaced and also caused emergency repair for pipe breakage and gas leaks.They <br /> have also had to replace their deck 4-5 times as it keeps settling by 1ft or more each time.The southeast corner of this <br /> property is the daylight basement and deck of the house.At this location,there is a grade transition of about 10ft from <br /> the southwest to the southeast,where the basement daylights.The other portions of the property have not experienced <br /> settling of the same magnitude, if any at all.We would like to investigate some of the adjacent utilities to determine if <br /> this settlement has had any impacts on the adjacent properties and/or City utilities.Some items we would like to further <br /> explore are listed below: <br /> 1. Check the water meter to determine if there is an internal water leak within the house.Also check the water <br /> meters of the surrounding properties. <br /> 2. Inspect the storm line that runs adjacent to the property for potential leaks/cracks in the line and/or catch <br /> basins. <br /> 3. Inspect the foundation of the basement and deck to determine if there are any structural issues affected by this <br /> settlement. <br /> We would like to be able to understand what impacts may be happening out at this site and also point the homeowners <br /> in the right direction as to what their next steps need to be towards taking corrective action. Please follow up with both <br /> Ted and me with any information you find out or any further questions you may have.Thank you for your assistance <br /> with this issue. <br /> 1 <br />
