Well today I went out and my cracks on the outside of the concrete
slab on ground have grown from 6 to 11 cracks!


Get a structural engineer in to look at it. If he says they will be a
problem, then go to a lawyer with the expert opinion.

If the engineer says they are not a problem, then you have peace of
mind.


I had a soil test/sample done-all sand and wet clay down six feet
right next to the slab in 5 places. Funny thing in 2 spots after 6
feet down there was nothing for about one foot, the soil compression
tester just dropped down 1 foot with no resistance.
