The contractor provided a limited repair plan that included repair locations and pre -lift elevations for the structure for our review. No other information was provided regarding prior engineering reports, recommendations for limited foundation repairs or construction documents. If existing piers are shown in the limited repair plan, their locations were provided by the client and are approximated. We do not certify their performance or existence. If the reader would like to determine if they are present, they must contact the owner or contractor to obtain an engineering certif- icate for them. According to the contractor, physical damage is present which indicates a need for remedial measures. Abacus Foundation Repair has recommended performing the following: • Installing 53 total pilings. • Cutting 33 existing pilings. • Demolishing and replacing approx. 213 LF of beam using 3(2x6) pressure treated wood. • Excavating approx. 133 LF of soil under grade beam to lower. • Reconstructing grade beam. • Resetting/ re -shimming the interior with steel shims. All limited repairs are to be made in the approximate locations of the structure as indicated on the limited repair plan and may be altered based on field conditions of the foundation. Expectations and Additional Recommendations This report provides our reasonable professional opinion of the condition of the foundation on the date of the inspec- tion by the contractor and is based on the data provided to us and does not take into consideration any changes in the condition of the foundation or soils after that date. The contents of this report supersede any verbal comments made regarding the structure before, during or after the inspection. Although document review is an integral part of the limited foundation repair process, we recommend obtaining a visual inspection by a licensed engineer. CE can com- plete this visual inspection for an additional fee. If Crosstown is not contracted to perform a visual inspection it is unknown to us as to whether or not additional repairs may be needed. This limited repair plan is intended to provide a reasonable repair to improve the performance of the foundation and is not intended to level the foundation. The contractor shall determine the amount of elevation correction needed based on the reaction of the structure during the lift in order to minimize damages and additional stress.

TX), NIBA Tampa: (813) 702 -3398 j Dallas/Ft Wo.•th (469) 751-7694 zwvvw.Crosstc)-YnPnbineerinQ com Because the structure has endured pre -repair foundation differential movement, residual differential elevation and perceptible floor slope or other noticeable issues may remain following the limited foundation repairs. The soils beneath and surrounding the structure are known to shrink and swell as the seasonal soil moisture content fluctuates. Moving forward, we anticipate that some cracks in the interior and exterior walls will surface due to seasonal move- ment within the soils, even after limited foundation repair. Periodic repair of this type of cracking may be needed. A foundation and yard watering and foundation maintenance program will help control seasonal movement. It is important that the soils be stabilized and maintained with grass or ground cover around the perimeter of the structure. In addition, tree and shrub removal or root barrier installations are advisable if trees or bushes are observed to be close to the foundation. Tree roots can cause "heave" or settlement of the foundation where roots grow and absorb moisture over time when planted close to the foundation (tree roots extend approximately as far or further than tree limbs). Maintaining the soils around the structure to slope away from the foundation to prevent excessive ponding near the foundation in areas that are not already sloping away will help prevent future foundation movement. We recommend that a full gutter system with gutter extensions be maintained to discharge a minimum of 4 feet from the foundation (not in landscaped flower beds or any other location that will trap water near the foundation). Ponding near the foundation can cause "heaving" (upward movement of the foundation), settlement of the foundation due to overly saturated clays soil or erosion of soil embedment around the foundation. If standing water is observed at any time in the pier and beam area by the owner, we recommend immediately pump- ing the water out to prevent water damage to wood elements and to prevent humid conditions in the crawlspace. Humidity in the crawlspace can cause wood rot. If standing water is observed near the foundation after a rainstorm, we recommend consulting a drainage expert or engineer to evaluate the terrain and develop a drainage management strategy to address the issue. We recommend pre -lift and post -lift plumbing tests be performed on the sewer and potable plumbing lines. All leaks shall be repaired immediately. Page 2 of 6- Date: 7/3/2019 CA i9-�q Adam A.

NO WARRANTY IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY THIS ENGINEER AS TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS FOUNDA- TION OR THE REPAIRS THERETO. Diligent foundation maintenance to maintain consistent soil conditions along the perim- eter should reduce further problems after the recommendations within this report have been implemented. However, seasonal moisture variations, water leaks, erosion and other factors may affect the stability of the foundation and put it in danger of further damage.
