Most homeowners ignore early warning signs until the problem gets expensive.
Here’s one you should never overlook:
If you see a crack that’s getting longer or wider over time — that’s movement, not “normal settling.”
A quick way to check:
Put a piece of painter’s tape over the crack and write today’s date.
Check it again in a week.
If it’s changed, your foundation is talking to you.
