Telepoles are not plumb

Hey - looking at buying a home in Calgary and one thing that came up during property inspection was that the telepoles in the basement were not plumb, noticeably out of line by the naked eye.

The assessor saw no signs of any movement which would have caused this and I have since had a builder friend take a look and then had a carpenter quote to repair.

My concern is could it simply be a case of bad installation or could I be missing something / walking in to something bigger? There are almost 2-3" out! No cracking in concrete at the base or any other signs of movement. It has been suggested that perhaps they were knocked out when pouring floor though it is strange that both are out at opposite end of the main beam in the same slant and by about the same amount.

So my quote is for straightening the existing telepoles though was told that once we uncover the footing, if they are off the footing or the problem is the footing then a new one would have to be made.

So is that worst case or could there be something more sinister going on?

Thanks!
