Default Re: Slab Cracks common in 20 year old homes?

Russell,
I seriously doubt that there are many people in this world who can not tell the difference between bunched up padding and an uneven crack in concrete. If you find such a person, would you please forward to me his/her name, address, and phone number? I have some surplus items I would like to sell them.

Actually, there's more than we care to imagine. But I've found that it is more prevalent in condos than single-family homes. That's because people, for some strange reason, don't think about there being a concrete floor in condos. I guess they think there's only concrete on the first floor as the foundation and that everything else is steel and wood. Not necessarily.
