Hi,
We are looking to buy a new house. My husband is "in love" with this one place and he doesn't want to let go.
But I wanted to ask important questions that bother me:
1. Regarding the basement: The house is 3 years old and I see small and kind of insignificant looking cracks in the floor of the basement. THe realestate agent says that this is the foundation "settling in" and every basement has them. And my husband agrees wth him, but I was thinking: This house is only 3 years old so what if these small cosmetic cracks become more significant in 20 years?
2. How would I know that there was ever a water problem in the basement? Is there a way to check? Is there a way to know that for sure this basement was always dry, and will stay that way?
3. My husband found a crack in the foundation outside. He says a crack in the foundation can be fixed Is this true? Is this a significant fix ?
Thank you
