Re: Concrele basement, Lot 8] 7, Village of West Clay
To Whom It May Concern:
At the request of Weber Concrete Construction, 1 inspected the basement for this home under
construction. 1 understand there was concern because the walls were not braced prior to
backfilling. The Code requires only "adequate" bracing.
My inspection revealed that the walls in place are square, straight, and phunb; without
discernible cracks. The walls in this basement have numerous comers that act as buttresses or
integral braces to stiffen the walls. The front wall and the back wall have attached porch
foundations to act as stiffeners. The north wall has a concrete window well that provides
stiffuess. On the south side, there is a three car garage, and between that and the main
basement is a crawl space with 4-foot high walls.
In my opinion, the basement walls on Lot 8] 7 suffered no damage from the backfilling
operation and are structurally sound_
Very truly yours,
..7
