Inspector,

There are lots of businesses that do foundation repair. The solution to a
problem depends on the problem. From the OP's post it sounds as if his home
was built on poorly compacted fill dirt, the house is now compacting the
fill dirt, and this is happening unevenly thus causing foundation cracks. So
someone needs to dig or push down to good, well compacted, soil and pour
some piers under the sagging foundation. Not cheap but the house is
repairable unless it was actually built in a swamp or someplace without good
soil within a reachable depth..

Thanks for the info
