I was doing an inspection near my home and in the master bedroom in the closet there was a separation of about inch and a halve went to the room by it and there was a separation from the adjacent wall and ceiling. the outside of the house did not have any visible cracks. I called it to be further evaluated. Later I found the the house was jacked up ten years ago. What would you all have done differently?

I would have taken some pictures, so I could show others on the BB. icon_wink.gif icon_wink.gif


Sorry, couldn't resist.

Did the house have a crawl space? and if so did you go into it? Was there evidence of work that was previously done?

Since the house was jacked up, was a crawl space created or was it reset on footings of some sort?
Sounds that since there were roof trusses, the floor might have settled to create this movement.

Pictures would help.
