<br /> <br /> <br />the southeast corner of the residence and damage appears to be occurring <br />on the south wall. <br />7. The small basement portion of the structure is founded at greater depth and <br />in my opinion on soils that are more likely to be stable. As a result, the other <br />portions founded at shallow depths are more likely to move differentially with <br />the basement area and create potential for differential cracking. <br />To summarize my opinions, the problems that have occurred with this <br />residence I believe are inherent with true adobe construction and the age of the <br />structure. This combined with the drainage, both surface and the roof drainage <br />conditions, lead to deterioration of the mud brick. Because of the apparent <br />directions of movement I do not believe the damage is related to mine subsidence. <br />If I can clarify my opinions, or be of further service in this matter, please call. <br />Very truly yours, <br />SON, I <br />Robert W.
