I am finishing my basement, put up a 50' wall and now my floor is cracked heaving up a 3/16" x 10'. Wondering if my walls are too tight putting downward pressure on one side causing the other side to heave upward. smh. wall are fine
ОтветитьThanks for the video =)
ОтветитьI have been looking at houses and there seems to be this massive paranoia about foundation issues, as if is the most serious thing wrong with the house. Any house that has foundation issues is avoided like the plague by buyers. Is this an overreaction. Seems most can be fixed easily with a few thousand, and the most serious ones can be solved by $20-40,000 dollars.
ОтветитьWhich part of the house is safer to sleep in? The house is newly built, but the walls are separated
ОтветитьShort and precise. Very helpful
ОтветитьI’m retired dual-career: three decades-plus in a military career, and 25 years in a follow-on federal law enforcement career. I’m in my late 60s, and no wallflower when it comes to stressful situations. But I’d be lying, if I didn’t admit that a large number of cracks in my 12 year old western Massachusetts home’s basement and deck, has me a little “sketched out” right about now. Working hard to keep my head, so as to NOT overly-concern my wife, as we prepare to sell! I’m succeeding “With a little help from Jack Daniels, (thank you National Lampoon Christmas Vacation, for that appropriate line!). While your video was somewhat helpful, it almost felt like a recent visit to my doctor: “Son, while yes, these signs point to cancer, but it’s also equally possible that they don’t point to cancer. I’m recommending that we send you into Boston for some additional testing”. Dear God. Regarding my cracks, where do I go, besides my lawyer’s office for potential pre-litigation advice, to get a definitive answer? Hopefully not, Boston.
ОтветитьKey information with great examples. Thanks!
ОтветитьThis was so helpful and very informative! Thank you
ОтветитьThank you for the video. I was gonna buy a house but I noticed there was a big crack on the floor. The floor was concrete. Do you have any idea what could cause that?
ОтветитьHello, I have removed my carpet and tack strips in preparation to have new flooring put in my house. My question is the edges below my baseboards are have crumbled pieces of concrete. Is this considered structural?
ОтветитьGreat guy's 👏
ОтветитьVery helpful, thank you!
ОтветитьWould a vertical crack in 8 courses of brick above the very center of the lintel above a two car garage indicate a structural or a non structural crack? If it is a three year old house with a two year warranty is it considered a construction defficiency?
ОтветитьWhat causes the wall to detach from the ground (foundation). I’m going to have someone come out next week.
Ответитьvery good information, excellent explanation.
ОтветитьGreat thank you, now which one is more expensive?
ОтветитьThanks!
ОтветитьHey. I’m in an apartment. The room is large. There are two outlines along the top of the walls that are likely beams. I noticed that the paint on one beam is cracked moderately and the paint is peeling off. Any ideas? I think has been here for a while. I have poor vision so I generally have not noticed it until someone pointed it out.
ОтветитьExcellent
Ответить1/4 (the first minute) of the video is wasted, stating structural vs non-structural, and the intro music/graphics.
ОтветитьIsnt cured until its cracked.
You mentioned these can be disguised as one or the other and only gave us what they look like normally. No info on how one may look like the other
I live in Clovis ca and yesterday we had a mild earquake. Today I went outside and saw thin hair diagonal cracks around windows and doors and also on the wall too. They are horizontal, diagonal and some vertical cracks too. I do not recall seeing these cracks before so iam thinking they happened after earquake. Should I be worry about them? They pretty much go in all directions. House was built in 2005 and its a one story house about 1550 square feet
ОтветитьPerfect: concise and to the point.
ОтветитьThank you!
Ответитьthanks for the info!
ОтветитьThank you.
ОтветитьStructural. Not "structual". I swear you say it wrong every single time.
ОтветитьThanks mann!
ОтветитьOnce again we're not talking absolutes here leave it open on it so nobody can prove me right or wrong
ОтветитьJust so you know we're not going to see a structural crack is a structural crack and also a structural crack is not necessarily a structural crack what?
ОтветитьTruth is, homes built in USA are junk. Builders take the money
and run, along with useless warranty. There is no foundation except for
the floating concrete slab which moves with seasons. Concrete by its
nature is porous and as such moves. Cracks are not only normal, they are
expected.
Then they put 2 x 4 wood stick frame on top of it, rain or shine.
Plywood on top of that, followed by tar paper roof, and shit rock for
interior walls. There is no waiting. Process is rushed. Take a look one
Sunday afternoon, visit construction site, see what is happening.
You'll feel sick to your stomach.
Later, when cracks start to show they will blame you, the homeowner. I
am sure the 3 little pigs built better homes...and showed more pride of workmanship.
Thank you, very useful information.
ОтветитьHey Dave I have a question for you. If I had a some small cracks on my block concrete wall in the basement, and I was going to Epoxy carbon fiber straps onto the wall, do I absolutely need to grind off the paint? I know that is the standard but have you actually seen repairs fail due to the fact that somone didn't grind off the paint first? Thank you for any feedback I appreciate it.
ОтветитьThanks so much for this video. I think I have a nonstructural crack then, which is a big relief. -John
