This small ranch has all four walls cracked this bad. One measured about 2 inches out of level. This one is below a supporting beam. The picture looks “fish eye”, its not.

This is a stairwell from the garage to the basement. Notice the lower missing and crumbling concrete blocks! Not to mention- No handrail, No Fire door at bottom, No light and about 10 other deficiencies!

Home owner purchased a on demand gas water heater on Ebay and installed it himself and very proud of it. There is no problem with venting it into the basement or the gas leak.

All the walls were like this, mold was everywhere and silt was covering the basement floor coming through the foundation cracks.

http://www.nachi.org/forum/attachments/f13/54479d1334357281t-requesting-best-defect-pictures-april-p4061119.jpg When I went to step on the hall floor, I noticed the seam through several floor boards,so I gingerly tested it. The floor had a lot of movement, so I went to the basement and found where somebody had cut a stringer off to make headroom for the basement stairs. The floor boards were moving for a good reason; they were being held up by air!!!

Glad you did the thumbs so I can rest my pointer to magnify to full size.
Clicking on the picture might help Bob.
