  1. So, you might want to look at the terms of your earthquake insurance. If you do a self-repair out of regulation and quake destroys your house and if the insurance investigators see that something was done out of code there goes everything.

    Its in your best interest to consult a professional for liability purposes.

  2. You need to find the cause first – is it rot? Earthquake damage? Extra pressure from above? Is it covered by insurance? You might make it worse. You should at least get a consultation with a pro rather than asking here, even if someone does have such a specific experience, it might be a different reason.

  3. I wouldn’t even try. Other than insurance, which you should definitely contact right away. Your house maker should be notified as well. The company that built the house will be able to get involved. That could be a carpenter or a house brand like seksui house.
