Yes, there is a 1 year warranty that covers "cosmetic" problems...and a 10
year warranty that covers structual. The builder claims that multiple
vertical cracks in the foundation is cosmetic.

They said that it would cost $230 per crack to fix with a lifetime
warranty.
So, my question is (and I will get a couple of other bids)...

Does that price sound reasonable?

If I'm not finishing my basement any time soon should I even worry about
it?

My house is only 3.5 years old...is it "normal" to have that many cracks
in
the basement foundation walls?

Considering the age of the house, do you have any warranty? Even if you
do
not, perhaps the builder will work with you as a matter of keeping his
reputation intact.

I believe I see a water stain around at least one crack.
That should be fixed and monitored carefully.
Water in the basement is not good.
How are they "fixing" the cracks and what are they warrantying?
