Determining the appropriate contractor
Hello,
I have a problem with one of my properties where a wall in the bedroom is slightly bowing inward. This is an exterior wall and there is also a window above the bow that has a slight crack in it. I think that moisture might be penetrating through the brick and mortar from the exterior or maybe the window. I suspect this is what is causing the wall to bow. This room also smells kind of mildewy.
I need to have somebody come out, assess the situation, determine root cause / repairs / remediation, and help me figure out a path forward. Though I'm not really sure what type of contractor to even contact about this sort of multifaceted problem. What type of contractor would you recommend?
PS: This property is in St. Louis
PPS: Sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask this question. I searched around for others but couldn't really find anywhere else that seemed to be as appropriate.
Thanks,
-Dave
