I’m taking several tools from a black light flashlight to moisture meter to thermal camera to check everything out and smell the smell for myself to see if I can figure it out.The vent stack for the water heater is a straight shot vertical up, and is a solid piece going to the roof, same for the furnace.

We are in Colorado (near Denver) and noticed moisture in the basement. 

These are simply moisture shrinkage cracks not settlement cracks.  

Plus the moisture buildup.

@Troy Whitney My son is a union carpenter in Seattle and area, he recently worked on a multi story apartment building the developer was using components from a EU country-maybe Poland-they got most of the building up-walls and floors-the building started to accumulate moisture inside the wall components which were very water tight and would not release the liquid.

Some of them are obvious needs (broken windows, moisture, etc).  

Otherwise grease and moisture will screw up the walls.

Ventilation may be inadequate and moisture may accumulate indoors.
