Just who is this "inspector", and who does he work for?

Do you have any photo's?

And Beemer is right on with the plane of the wall. If it's out of plane, that's slam dunk trouble.

I have pictures of the low spots but not the crack. I will get more pictures this morning and post them later.

I like the idea of running a string across the back wall to check for bowing,a basic idea but effective.

I will be contacting the inspectors office Monday afternoon to visit and go over the results.

I have even considered hiring a concrete company, not affiliated in the area, to do a inspection of the foundation. A friend of my father in law owns a large concrete company and said he would look at it if we did not get satisfactory results from the building company. This would give me two three opinions on the foundation.

Thanks for the input everyone!!!!!!
