The cracks aren't causing me any major problems. We had some very
severe downpours for 4 days and I noticed water coming in which is why
I began getting estimates. To fix the problem before it got worse.
Well it just got worse!

Yes an inspection was done. He did metion the cracks due to settling
but I'm pretty sure settling is much different then sinking. I have a
friend who works for city hall and advised me that there is a whole
file on my house and letters that the seller wrote to the city
indicating this problem and seeking assistance from the city. So the
sellers knew however on all the forms that they had to mention of
problems the house had, they failed to mention any of this. I am so
completely upset.

Thanks for your response!!!

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.

That sound like a bad situation. Are these crack causing you any
problem other than mental anquish? Was an inpection done before you
purchased the house?
