Home owners and home buyers are often concerned about visible cracks in sheet rock, in the foundation slab, in the brick veneer etc., and possibly with good reason but it is important to consider all possible indications of foundation movement as a group and as they relate to one another. An inspection of the attic to look for rafter separation, a check of proper door and window operations and out of square frames is also important. It is often difficult if not impossible to determine whether a foundation problem exists and if it does to what extent by only reviewing a single indication of movement. Finding and evaluating all possible indications and how each relates to the overall problem is necessary.

My brother is a materials inspector for the highway department and he told me that all concrete cracks, so that doesn't mean that the foundation is moving.  The crack may need to be waterproofed, but most times that is it.  I error to the conservative and want any major cracking checked out.

It is important to share this kind of information with your insurance agent. If they know what kind of situation you have they can assist you with getting adequate coverage should you have a claim later on with the property.
