| Recommend repair and/or replacement of affected components. This means that you might need a licensed structural engineer or foundation professional to look at the cracks, determine their causes, determine if they are active or have the potential to become active, and design appropriate fixes for the specific types of cracks and causes. After that, as with everything else in our homes, you will need to practice regular homeowner monitoring and maintenance. | Remember that home inspectors are generalists and are not acting in any capacity as licensed engineers under State of New Jersey laws. We only document cracks and where they are located. We must, by law, leave determination of the causes, and appropriate fixes, to licensed structural engineers, civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, or other qualified foundation professionals. |
