It’s always nice to get natural light into your house but not when it’s coming through a crack in your foundation wall. The Structure is considered one of the major systems on a home. Sometimes Structural repairs are straightforward and inexpensive and sometimes they a a bigger concern and very costly. I have seen $300 Structural problems and I have seen $100,000 Structural problems. If the opening exceeds 1/4” or if there are signs of shifting or displacement, it may indicate a bigger problem. And by bigger problem I mean hold onto your wallet. In either case, Structural issues need to be addressed because they don’t get better. Even a small crack over time will get worse due to freeze/thaw and pressure on the wall. It’s important to know the difference between big problem and small problem and to know what your buying. Thanks for stopping by. See you in 2 weeks for another installment of Postcards from the Field!
Natural Light Not Always A Good Thing?
