I have a structural engineer and a cement or concrete hand coming over to the new house to look at the basement on Tuesday. The Foundation is in great shape. no cracks there, and there are no cracks at all in the sheet rock anywhere in the house. But in the unfinished basement there are severe cracks in the floor in one spot it has dropped about 2-3". I'm getting a quote on what it costs to fix and then I'm taking it to the sellers

They may not be able to tell what the problem is until they remove a section of the floor. They can guess, but may not be sure until later. Hopefully it is just something small.

Lot of bentonite in the soil in that part of town. They did a good job on the footings as far as I can tell but the floor has settled considerably
