I have a 50 year old single story masonry building with soil contamination from an adjacent gas station under the building. They have been doing soil vapor extraction for the past several years and we are now having major settlement issues with the building. One corner needed to be jacked back into place with helical piles.
From soil borings there is a layer of peat about 8 - 10 feet below grade and just above and below the water table and all of the way under our building.
Is it reasonable to conclude that after 45 years of the building experiencing no settlement; that now after the remediation company did the SVE the activities are related?
Thanks,
