Southern calif. house built in 1990.
Do these look like normal shrinkage or seismic cracks. I did not see any other cracks in the foundation. ![]()

Small for florida. Tell them it might get bigger if San Fran ends up off shore but for now it doesen't indicate a structural concern.

What crack?
If I can shove both hands in it and clap, then THAT's a crack! All joking aside, not a problem. |

Definitely appears to be a shrinkage crack. Since Western Washington is in the same seismic threat zone as California, I can tell you for sure that I wouldn't be concerned with that one.

appears to be shrinkage crack...but what is on the other side of the wall? Is there a pool or some depression that may lead you to beleive its structural?
