Default Home Sinking

I have no where to go with this and I'm seeking help.

It will be one year that I purchased my home at the end of this month.
I had a home inspection done and there was mention of fixing 2 cracks
in the basement. I had a representative from Basement Systems come to
my house today for a quote and he said he wouldn't even touch my house.
He stated that my house was sinking and he didn't know how it passed
the home inspection. Now I'm really nervous and concerned and have no
idea what to do now. Any advice anyone can lend would be greatly
appreciated.


Get to a lawyer ASAP. You may only have one year to go after the
inspector, in NJ it is two years for professional liability. Be
prepared to make numerous calls before you find an attorney to help
you, took me about 20 to find someone to help with a similar issue.

While you are looking for a lawyer also get a second opinion on the
'sinking house' diagnosis.
