Default help! i need to jack a brick house before it falls over!

In article . com, "ruca" wrote:
this is a two-story brick victorian built in the 1800s. far as we can
tell, there have been no gutters on it to divert the rainwater away
from the foundation for quite a while, and the foundation is settling
badly. the brick above grade is now caving in towards the basement. is
there any way to shore this beast?


This is probably not a do-it-yourself job. Time to call in the pros.
