HELP! Toledo, OH Bowing Basement Wall Quote
Have a property listed for sale and the seller has pointed out a bowing basement wall. Closing will be contingent on an inspection. We are already out-of-the-money on the deal.
Given my past experiences, very worried about someone coming out and telling me I need some expensive repair, as this seems to happen across the board - $15k for windows (2nd bid for $5k) $18k basment waterproof (2nd bid 5k)...i could go on and on.
One contractor told me "don't let anyone tell you that you need to fix that wall - it's not necessary".
Can anyone recommend a structural engineer that can give an honest opinion - not one that is trying to maximize their bid?
Thanks!
