Re: Crack in the wall
I would not call it a common crack. Cracks should not be common in a wall! Something has caused it.
If this home is on a conventional foundation I would look for the following:
I would be looking for Squash blocks if the home has engineered joist. Look for doubled up beams under the load bearing wall. Something has caused it to crack.
Being that it is on a second floor you might not be able to see the problem. Most of the time when I find a crack like this and the home has engineered joist I do not find squash blocks and the bottom cord has been damaged.
