TYPICAL FOUNDATION, STEM WALL
OR, IF VISIBLE, FOOTING CRACK(S) NOTED:
Fully 95% of the footing and foundation or stem
wall cracks noted by this company are simple
expansion cracks which are almost
"guaranteed" to have been there within
2 years after the concrete was poured. Generally
this type crack requires no remedial action
except when required as a condition for termite
inspection clearance. Read
regarding drainage near the foundation, in the
Landscape/Site chapter, for information
regarding excess moisture around a building.
Minor cracks can become major cracks if the
foundation is not protected from lifting and
settling.

When it comes time to sign a contract to purchase a home it is vital you find and use a New Jersey Real Estate Attorney. Although many attorneys represent clients in real estate transactions there are a select few who do it well. Real estate attorneys who handle real estate transactions are good at it because they do it day after day. If an unusual situation comes up during your real estate deal odds are an experienced New Jersey Real Estate attorney had the same or a similar situation before and knows just what to do. Hiring an experienced home inspector has the same benefit, when something unusual comes up they are much more likely to know what to tell you in order for you to negotiate better.
