Thanks for the quick replies! A little more info... House was built in 1955 in a Chicago suburb. The image I posted is of the corner of the basement that has a concrete sidewalk on one side (left side) and an asphalt driveway on the other side (lower part of image covered with snow). Unfortunately, the basement is finished with drywall on both the walls and ceiling, so no easy way of looking at it from the inside. Thanks again!

Hello All, My wife and I are considering making an offer on a house soon. If our offer is accepted, we will for sure be getting it inspected. However, I wanted to upload an image I took of the corner of the house for an opinion from the community regarding a potential foundation issue. I figured if it was an obvious foundation issue that could be diagnosed from the forums, it would save us the time and resources of even bothering with an offer. I realize that with one picture it may be difficult to even give an opinion. But do you think the image looks to be an obvious major foundation issue big enough to not even waste the time on an offer? Thanks in advance! Click to Enlarge 59.32 KB
