Structural steel post in basement

[shoshaw]

I'm looking to purchase a home in Michigan. The previous owner has drilled a 1/16" hole in one of the 2 steel posts in the basement to hang something on. The home is 2 stories and there seems to be a lot of weight on the posts. Will this hole compromise the post enough that I might have problems?

Thanks!

No.

It shouldn't......If you have problems there was something wrong before the hole was drilled.
