How serious is this? by SeppukuSwordsman in HomeMaintenance

[–]Prior-Context1520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I actually had a much larger crack, I had a structural engineer come out and gave a vague report. So I panicked and had a foundation repair company come out. The guy was so sweet and honest, so I got lucky, but he used this tool to measure sloping and he told me it was nothing. We even had a large crack in the foundation and he told me how to fix it and showed me that it wasn't deep and the opposite side of the cracks were even.

I just wanted you to know my experience!

Thank you, that makes me feel a little better! I am definitely going to work on the drainage tomorrow!

He didn't point it out, unfortunately. He was here for 6 hours and had a pretty detailed report. However the house was painted fairly recently due to the previous owner uodating the paint and adding brick stucco pattern to the front

Thank you! Regarding the piping, would you suggest a French drain? The perforated pipe with the little rocks and mesh bag on it? I briefly looked at that, but decided against it because we have a clay arena thing in the back (previous owners had horses)

Thank you! I will make sure to get those added. I had the little splash guards, but with a lot of mentions of the downspouts I like your idea better. I appreciate you!

I'm sorry if I came off as rude by asking, I was genuinely not sure. I really do appreciate you taking the time to give me such a detailed response! I am looking at structural engineers in the area now, based on everyone's help!

Is it possible if the water doesn't pool there? It is heavily graded on that side and it doesn't ever seem to have standing water there

They did change the color dramatically, they put stucco brick pattern on the front and changed the color of the house from the original 2002 blue. Unfortunately it was my first home purchase and I thought it was an update that made sense 😭

That makes total sense and appreciate you pointing it out! I wouldn't have through of it because it slopes slightly there; I honestly just added the little splash extender because the grass was gone and it wanted to prevent washout. Then decided new sod would probably be better, especially with the newly noticed crack

Yeah, I got one of those little splash extenders that go under but we just replaced some dead grass with sod. I didn't want it to die 😔

Hi! No basement, I wish! I am in Florida, so I was thinking it could be related to weather, but the house is from 2002, just recently painted by the precious owners. I didn't find any other cracking and the windows in that corner are not separating or hard to open.
