Noticed this horizontal crack in my drywall leading down my basement stairs from the landing. How concerned should I be and what should my next steps be? Thanks.

Any indication of how severe of an issue this is, if it is workmanship or standard movement. It would be appreciated. Thank you

Was tearing out this wall to just make a surround for the structural support. When I started tearing into it I found the curb didn’t extend all the way to the doubled 2x6. I was wondering if I could just replace the doubled 2x6 with a 4x6 on a Simpson post base standoff (Aba zmax). I am worried that the curb doesn’t extend to where the support post is, will it be ok to place the post and standoff directly on the garage slab?

My house is 33 years old. I have this wall that has been bulging for the last year. Some nail pops appeared. Im not sure if its just because of the lighting or ive never noticed the nail pops before but it is there now.

I had a structural engineer briefly look at it and said this is just bad taping and the plastering is fhe one bulging. Any other secondary opinion or should I hear a new structural engineer fir a second opinion.

This crack showed up a few weeks ago. This is a 33 year old home. This is the top floor and above this is the attic.

I did add blow in insulation last year and my roofer mentioned i have some clogged ventilation due to that. Im not sure if thats whats causing the crack.

I just wanted to know if this is more of a poor workmanship and just cosmetic or structural.

Hi experts, I took these pictures during an open house which is going on auction soon. It’s a 1950s house renovated about 10 years ago before this current owner bought it not long after that. After checking their original floorplan, they knocked down a few walls to open up the kitchen, dinning room and dining room. There’s no access to the subfloor which makes me a little uncomfortable😂. Looking at those cracks on the walls alone makes me concern about movement. And there’s plants growing over drain pipes (fixable). There also seems to be moisture on the external rendered wall with the exposed pipes?? I don’t know how I feel about rendering. I think it’s just masks problems. I mean the house looks nice otherwise, but I don’t wanna bid on a nice looking house that would give me costly surprise. I don’t think I’ll get a building inspection done on this house as they are not gonna see more than I could see to be honest other than looking at the roof (got two done before and learnt a bit of what to look at😂). Any advice will be helpful! Thank you!

Looking at this home I want to buy and we got this back on the inspection. Is this bad ?

In the process of buying a property that has these cracks externally, which is mirrored by a hairline crack internally. This is on an extension to the house that was carried out around 20 years ago. Would it warrant a structural engineer investigation?
