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.


Some cracking is inevitable. I have fine cracks in the concrete floors
of my basement and garage. I don't know about the poured concrete walls
in the basement since they are covered by a stud wall, insulation, vapor
barrier, and sheetrock. The floor cracks do not allow water into the
basement or garage.
Call the building inspector. Let him/her follow it up. His/her
reputation is on the line, and he/she will put the blame on someone else.
