Donald,

I would recommend getting a qualified inspector to look at it first, they have no interest in making $ over and above the inspection fee. Then with that information talk to contractors and get quotes on fixing the problem. I think that the $ you spend for an unbiased opion would be well worth it. Also it is critical that you find the failure point and start the repair there... for example if you find that the footing has failed in one area you want to replace/repair it, not just put a longer support on top of it.

It sounds like there has been a mistake made in either the design or build, I hope you can get this fixed right.

Good luck, Jim
