Signs of foundation failure come in the form of subtle and not-so-subtle cracks. In this Durham home, we photographed both interior cracks that might not alarm anyone, and cracks in the brick exterior and in the cement block in the crawl space which should definitely catch your attention.
With this Durham home we installed foundation supports both in the crawl space and on the exterior of the house.

One of the many signs of possible foundation failure is cracks in bricks – brick siding, brick foundations, brick walls and brick fireplaces. Take a look at some of these pictures.
Cracks in brick sometimes cut through the mortar, and other times crack the bricks in the middle.
