I have a 4 story residential building with a very small footing built in the 1920's. The footing size is 16" wide x 5" thick. Is underpinning it with a larger footing the only "practical" way to increase it in width. The major problem is the building has been totally renovated and its at the end of the bank financing it. The Architect never required the existing footing to be checked. The buildings stucco and brick is cracked like a road map. I got the job to inspect it and remediate from the owners lawyer. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
