This image shows cracking in the interior wall of this residence. This could be an initial sign of unwanted movement in the foundation. The longer the problem is undetected or remains uncorrected, the more signs you will begin to see.

Cracks throughout the brick and slab foundation is another sign of foundation issues. Slabs are able to bend slightly but too much bending can ultimately cause the slab to crack.

Cracking in the exterior brick veneer will typically begin near windows and doors. This can be caused by uplifting or dropping of the right side of the foundation.
