Thanks for the information, more that I probably will ever need but helpfull non the less. I will post back later after my meeting with the building inspector which should be Monday evening or the latest Tuesday evening.

Update:
I had the building inspector look at the foundation cracks. The builder and the building inspector agreed the cracks are not structural but should be corrected with a epoxy fill.

I found some low spots in the basement floor, here is a copy of the work to be done by the concrete company.
"------ concrete will damp proof the entire floor using penetrating product from Emecole,Inc.Secondly we will acid the entire floor,after that we will use Butterfield T-1000 polymer to level out the floor.Finally we will apply a neutral color epoxy sealant to the entire floor.The process will take 7-10 days to dry and cure. ------ will Concrete will warranty the floor against spalling and peeling for 2 years.

Was there an offset to the wall?

If you mean from one side of the crack to the other no. I ran a string across the entire back wall and rubbed my hand across the crack in different locations on the wall.I have been inspecting the crack on about two day intervals, this is the time frame that I visit the home.

Based off what the concrete person stated the backfill was done 1 week after the walls were poured, he said it should have been done 3 weeks after pouring the walls.

well, it seems that they are willing to work with you on this. Having the basement floor coated and guarenteed is a plus.

Glad to see you got your crack fixed!

Crack is a problem for many I've heard so I'm glad to hear he has his crack problem fixed.
