We live in a semi detached row home. Our dining room started take on a lean on the wall that seperates the 2 houses. after taking down some paneling in my basement I was able to determine what the problem was and how to correct it. I purchased a couple of steel post< from home depot. after getting home and setting things up i noticed that the post holding the load bearing support was actually position in my neighbors basement. i figured not a problem I could just let her know what needed done and do it. My gf pointed out to me that if I go into the neighbors basement and do anything and it causes serious problems I could be at fault. i then noticed that do to water coming into the front of the house it has torn the hell out of the front window,window frame and the actual stone foundation. i desperatley need some help.

First thing---Post some pictures--then a better description of the building and the problem and a location.

Stone foundation---How old is the building---what does the foundation look like?

The sagging section--has a beam sagged?

We have a lot of good minds here----but we need a bit of help from you.---Mike---

You do not want to do any work in your neighbors house no matter what the problem is. You can inform them you think there's an issue and suggest they get a qualified person in there to inspect it.
Anything else would be poor judement.
