Default HELP! Contractor work caused HUGE Settlement Cracks and damage

I just bought a house that was built in 1959 and is on a medium/mild
slope. Part of the inspection for the house purchase stated that the
foundation piers should be replaced to stop some movement of the house.
I hired a contractor to do this. When he finished I noticed HUGE
breaks and cracks in my kitchen and living room walls. It is
terrifying! They run all the way from the ceiling to half way down to
the ground and they are practically in EVERY corner. I am not sure
what to do now --the contractor has already been paid. Is this
something I should have expected or is this something he should/could
have avoided?


No. It's something you should take up with the contractor or local
authorities. Not a bunch of strangers on the internet, dickweed.....



Oh dear dont' tell me - did some poor soul actually come here to ask a
question??!? It happened again??

Thank God there are people like you who will stop this awful thing from
happening!

The very thought of it! Someone asking about a house repair situation in a home
repair newsgroup!
