Dad has a barn that was build in the 50's by his parents. The walls are field stone cemented in and about 5 feet in ground. Has what I would call a curve hay mow roof. Inside, cement is sinking on the outside walls and getting cracks in walls. So I cut the floor cement and started to remove to see what was going on. The dirt is settling or going somewhere, there is 6 inches to a foot of gap between cement and dirt, which is why concrete is sinking I don't believe that its rats, (no signs). I am thinking that the rain and snow off the roof is going along outside of wall and causing this problem settling. Is also settling on the outside some but there is a lot of rocks out there. So it's not as noticeable. But the lawn is lower by wall. My idea is to compact where I have remove concrete and dump sand and let sit for a year and see if it settles more. and add fill to outside and slope away from barn about 4 feet out. Someday I hope to own place and don't want barn to be to far gone. Maybe even rain gutters would help if I knew water was the problem. There hasn't been any milking cows in there for about 35 years, used for beef cattle now. Does freeze in there. Is power washed every spring, which I think why the floor is heaving in other spots. Any ideas or suggest to help concern?
