A house that I'm thinking of buying has a number (20 or more) of what appear to be 2" in diameter holes drilled in various locations or the basement (800 sq. ft) and then recemented. Someone took the time to mark them sequentially with numbers ("X13", "X16", "X20" etc.) The only thing I can think is that someone was either testing for something or possibly trying to level the floor. The floor does show some minor to moderate signs of heaving, maybe an inch out of true in the worst spot. Any idea what these holes would have be used for? The current owner hasn't a clue either. Thx.
