The pier that drank too much
Hi, have a Cal Bung with a brick pier that appears to have had too much water...
It is leaning (just a little). It was made worse when the stumpies placed the house back level. The pier is 1 of a group of 4 - supporting the verandah.
1. Should I be worried?
2. Who do I call? Civil, soil engineer? Builder?
3. I gather these had some sort of base. Is it worth the time and effort of digging it out, re-doing the foundation and rebuilding the pier? i.e. More a cosmetic problem, or something that structurally NEEDS re-doing?
4. Can it be removed/replaced without the house falling over?
Cheers,
