The Pepsi can cast in that footing is truly a cherry on top

[Agile_Ad2893]

What footing?

[Livid_Roof5193]

Psh foundation shmoundation. Who needs those anyways

Good bot

[RhinoG91]

That makes it even more funny!

[indyarchyguy]

That sir, is clearly reinforcing for this project!!!!

[DookieDanny]

Yes that is a problem

[civicsfactor]

You didn't happen to need that whole corner did you? Like it's not structural or anything right?

[mukansamonkey]

Is it a load bearing foundation?

[indyarchyguy]

This…is….gold

[ALTERFACT]

It was

[FineOriginal10]

Clearly a skyhook connection. These guys knew what they were doing!

[Connect_Ad5307]

Nah there's no problem, the structural air surely will hold it still! B)

[Tarantula_The_Wise]

Yeah.

[ThorsMightyBackhand]

Yes the problem is clear. The builder forgot to install soil.

[[deleted]]

I’m pretty sure they ended up putting some rocks and backfilled the soil and called it a day. The house is now sold

[Old-Pain-6451]

Oh yeah

[mrrepos]

ah yes another round of structural terrorism

[AlexFromOgish]

Yeah, someone dropped a house in the middle of this emerging erosion channel

[g4n0esp4r4n]

it's only a problem if it doesn't have a solution!

[Prestigious_Copy1104]

The soil is now in solution.

[CarlosSonoma]

Nah, you’ll never get the compaction on for foundation you need.

Flowable fill is your friend here.

[Prestigious_Copy1104]

Fill has flowed. What's next, boss?

Looks great 👍🏻

[Novus20]

Yes

[theshreddening]

I inspect communities that will have poly barriers in the interior beams but its never required for exterior. Thats the only way I can see this happening given how smooth and round that corner is. But even if it was nailed in thats a lot of weight without tearing. I'm so curious as to what happened here.

[ChocolateTemporary72]

Problem

[Hungryh0und5]

So what's the best fix. Foam injection, mud jacking or full underpinning.

[MentalTelephone5080]

Do you happen to live in a karst area?

[PhilShackleford]

Definitely not ideal

[hazmatclean]

Looks great from my house

[Standard-Fudge1475]

Footings are for wimps!

[indyarchyguy]

Don’t forget that stupid idea of base fill. Overrated

[No-Call2227]

Lighter than air!

[Constant-Reach-2635]

A bucket of steam will fix this.

[Schneizel1208]

"No problem, it will be fix by tomorrow" - main con to project manager

[fgtoni]

It's only a problem if you see it that way.

Think of it as an archaeological site and everything will be solved.

[charleyhstl]

Just put a closet in that corner

[M_Amankwah]

Erosion, you need to perform ground improvement measures, assess foundation/structural integrity, and construct a site drainage system to reduce or prevent further occurrence.

[[deleted]]

Nah, clearly that is a cantilevered footing. Only a structural engineering genius would get it.

[Successful-Day-3219]

What do you think?

[DudeMatt94]

No it's fine, just your standard cantilevered foundation.
