"This is the result of a creeping hillside and shallow pile placement.
As the hillside slowly moves down or "creeps", the concrete piles, retaining walls and their footings begin to go down with it. This is why proper bearing material should be reached for all supporting systems on a hillside. Some places only require 5 feet down, others require 45+ feet down. It is imperative to get the proper depth!"

#15. Who would spend any money on a kitchen renovation were the floor is out at least an inch in about 6 feet?!

Yeah 'Murica. The land of the free where everyone is allowed to built everything. That's why we germans have such things as a TÜV, a "Bauordnung", a "Baugenehmigung" and a "Bauamt".

We have those things, too. Shoddy craftsmanship should not be considered evidence of a lack of regulation.

Rolf, The home construction and remodeling industry is highly regulated and has very strict standards everywhere in the US so “everyone is not allowed to built everything” is a very ignorant comment. Deferred maintenance, weather, earthquakes, along with homeowner work done without a permit happens in every country. Try not to be an imbecile.

Why the poor build quality? My house is on a solid concrete raft on one wing & block and beam the other. No chance of rot, movement or worry!
