Concrete floor base cracks

egaprons · Apr 18, 2008, 08:58 AM

I am considering purchasing a house and in one room there is a cement crack about 3 feet long. The house is 4 years old and has a cement base under the carpeting and tile. I contacted a cement pourer who said this was a fairly ordinary occurence and should not pose a problem. Is this a significant problem and is what would be the fix for it? Thanks.

None of these things, no cracks in wall, all doors and windows work well.

I agree with ballengerb1, a 3/8" crack and especially in a four year old home, hmm, be very careful. Something doesn't seem right here. I would definetly suggest having that home inspection completed by someone YOU pick, not one that the SELLER picks.
