Thanks for the tips guys. I know its hard to tell from pics but do you think its just normal settlement or really an issue with the walls. I have not been able to measure from the line drop back to the wall yet but this morning with just my fingers, its not like one side of the crack is sticking out like they have moved, their basically even, just cracked. LOL Marc, I just hope I get an inspector that is about the house and everything goes well. I've tried to make it easy on him with under sinks cleaned out, access to attic, clear epanel, etc like suggested in this thread. The fireplace is clean but I have not had the chimney cleaned. I will be here when he comes so i will be sure to tell him the info in the first paragraph. I don't want to be a pest so should I tell him first thing or wait till he mentions it. I do not usually follow people around and look over their shoulders either but should I to answer any questions he has in this case?

Thanks Mark, I did and it looks like 0 to maybe 1/2 inch. I did not have a plum bob but took a screw and string to do it. The top of the screw pretty much was against the wall at the bottom.

Hello, I am currently in the process of selling our home with an inspection coming next week. We bought the house about 13 years ago and our basement has basically been the same. In the first few pics you will see some water damage due to the concrete sidewalk having dropped toward the house when we moved in. We had the concrete taken up and poured draining away from house an have had no water in basement or further damage. Same thing for the corner pic, the water from the gutter was coming out about a foot from the house, we extended it about 5 feet out and the basement has been the same. Below are some pics, please let me know if you think we will have problems with our inspection. Guess I should add the house was built in 1979. It also looks like the horizontal cracks are level with the ground outside.
