Description

4/25/22: Cement poured to make a footing extension to try to partially correct the footings (they are still above the frost line). Then a polyurethane tube product was to be applied between the footing and footing extension seam. See the products' recommended cure times -- days or even weeks. This inner side of the "U" foundation was then partially filled on same day with gravel and leftover cement slopped over it. All that on Monday 4/25.
4/26/22 (within less than 24 hours of cement pour and supposed sealing): Inner side of "U" filled with more gravel and dirt, and then flattened -- burying prior day's work. How will concrete and poly sealant cure adequately?

And the footings are still NOT below the frost line.

The evidence of multiple code violations is growing.

You can't bury your way out of a foundation above the frost line and then change the existing grade. You must remove the faulty foundation and try again.
