Sagging Ceiling, Wall Cracks,& Uneven Floors Foundation Settling

[Elizabeth Njuguna]

Reviewing an inspection report, a few items alert me as to whether these are result of normal settling or potential foundation concern requiring addition of piers in the crawlspace. Report mentions Sagging throughout interior ceiling, cracking around most window and door frames, very uneven floors indicative of a structural movement, further evaluation recommended. Some door latches also do not seem to have been fully closing and some latches were removed by previous tenants. Some epoxy injections were recommended for concrete repair and a roofer to reseal the roof fixtures. The underlayment is visible through large damaged sections of the decking and attic ambering present. It appears some previous epoxy patching to the foundation seeming to have been done. I am wondering if this is all result of normal settlement in older houses (built 1958, Kansas City soil is clay) or a bad repair project waiting to happen, I am an out of state investor and not trying to do any major renovations and will likely exit the deal if it seems to be a foundation issue that will require a couple thousand to resolve in the next 5-10 years or even sooner. Any insight and/or estimates would be appreciated!
