re: Need advice on raising/leveling my house

So I found out that most of the joists are rotted out under my house, but the frame is still good. They're gonna have to dig a big hole under my entire house to replace them, and then they can jack up my house.

Got two quotes:

Cable lock = $80,000
Other foundation guy = $23,000


Moral of the story is not to waste your money on home inspectors. I had two look at my house before I bought it, and they missed multiple things, this one being the worst

My advice would be to have a structural engineer come do a full report on your home before spending money on repairs. They charge around $300 for a survey - they will tell you exactly what needs to be done, and the good part is, they have no skin in the game, so they're not trying to sell you anything like a foundation company will.
