Crack in Foundation, Deal Breaker?
Hey BP,
We are in escrow on a single family property in Sacramento, CA that we are planning to house hack. We just had our inspection and this was found in the foundation in the crawl space. Our agents put us in contact with a structural engineer who I sent this pic to and he said that it is larger than most cracks he has seen in the area and is a significant cold joint. He is doing an inspection on Sunday so we should have more clarity then, but would love to get some advice/thoughts from you all. Should we be prepared for this to be a significant expense or to be indicative of a larger problem? Appreciate any insights!
