I was hoping to get some opinions on an issue with our new home being built. I had my pre drywall inspection on thursday. We started on the second floor and worked our way down to the basement, everything looked good until we got to the mechanical room.The project manager says your probably wondering what that grey patch line is in the foundation, honestly I didn't even notice it.
Apparently during the backfill, the back hoe got to close to the house and cracked the foundation, there was a crack line from the basement floor all the way up to the basement window and another crack on the exterior. They repaired the crack with an epoxy injection after being looked at by a structural engineer. My wife and I don't know what to do, we both feel like the house will have a flaw before we even settle on it, and we could eventually have other problems because of this. I do have a pic of the patched crack I'll post if there's anyone with experience in these matters.
