Crack in wall

melody-s
11 years ago

I bought my house a few months ago. The inspector found foundation cracks and I had a foundation company do a follow up inspection. The foundation had been repaired and drainage (which had caused the problem) fixed. The foundation company that inspected assured me that the repair looked like it was done correctly and it should be fine.

Now I see a large crack developing on an interior wall above a window and I am quite nervous about it. When I looked at it closely it looks like there has been a previous repair in that area. I would like a follow up on this, but am not sure about what is the best route. Is this something for a foundation company to investigate, a structural engineering company, or some other type of company? Or am I blowing this out of proportion?
