large foundation crack.

8 years ago

There is a large horizontal crack in the foundation of a home that I am thinking of buying. The crack is about 10-15 feet long. Foundation is a cinder block wall coated in cement. the wall above and below the crack are not flush and the gap is about the size of an index finger. The home is in massachusettes and was built in 1843. I know that may be crazy to people who live outside of New England. But that is somewhat of a norm to have such an ole house up for sale. any way, I hav an inspectors report and am considering a structural engineer to come and tell me what it will cost to fix. Anyone here ever have to deal with a crack that size. And if so how much did you end up spending.
