Not any that would alter the state of the foundation. I think it has to do with water somehow getting under the home. I put 32 yards of clay/dirt mix under the house myself one 5 gallon bucket at a time. Filled it up, army crawled under the house, dumped it, crawled back out, repeat. It has been fine like that for a couple of years but just in the last few months, something has happened. I have cable lock coming monday and wck coming wednesday.

There has been a ton of rain in the past couple of months. My projections:aAt least one of those foundation guys is going to want to jack the home, pour a slab and put new piers for $60k+.

That's nearly 1,300 buck loads. You're name wouldn't happen to be Andy Dufresne, would it?

Jeezum Petes! 32 cuyds @ 5 gal per trip? That's ~1300 bucketfuls, if the bucket was completely full each time. You're a better man than me!

Please tell me you had teenagers involved to form a bucket brigade/Mexican dragline. Hopefully, the piles of fill were right next to the house!
