Gullible Homeowner? Not So Fast . . .
It sure sounds like a line: a builder who tells their client that they intentionally put a crack in the foundation floor to alleviate settling-related stress.
But, it happens to be true.
The two caveats: 1) it should be a small crack, barely more than a hairline; and 2) it should be relatively straight.
P.S.: My recommendation to such Sellers completing their Homeowner’s disclosure is to tell Buyers exactly that.
