I will post when I receive the structural report.

He is going to install an anchor (I believe at the garage slab) and then epoxy the crack. He told me there are numerous types of epoxys and if I was to tell my client to MONITOR and seal the crack as many inspectors do. The client may of just used a silicone.

In this case if the garage wasnt full of boxes I would of been able to see the crack at the garage.

This could of been about a 1500 lawsuit if I dont call it out right. I am glad I reffered it to the SE. This is a very minor repair in regards to structural issues.

It is hard for any one responding to this post to make a evaluation on just one photo.

Thanks you for your input.

I dont like to tell clients to monitor cracks.

For $1,500 someone can't afford to sue. AND I'll bet for every engineer or foundation contractor that said repairs needed - there would be 2 more saying NOT. As long as it worked for you OK.
