I will be very satisfied if I get even one crooked measurement . I have enough reasons to reject the house but I just need to convince my spouse ... a crooked measurement in front of her will give a reason

Thanks for all the answers. I am planning to use a 4 feet Carpenter's level to check all door/window frames, floor and wall (inside and outside). Do you think it is a good check to rule out foundation problems ? Anything else that you would suggest ?

Thanks for all the replies. I agree I made a mistake selecting inspector (based on tall claims on his website)

Thanks for all help. I am trying to attach some photos. The wall concerned is interior drywall. The exterior foundation wall looks good (except some stucco coming loose) . Click to Enlarge 32.53 KB Click to Enlarge 23.24 KB Click to Enlarge 11.26 KB Click to Enlarge 47.77 KB

Thanks! These are not exact words. My inspector gives a Checklist showing one words against each item . Against ceiling, wall, floor he wrote Cracked. Against lower level Bath, he wrote Water There is another section which says "Areas of Concern" . Under this he wrote "Water Wicking up thru wood at Basement Bath Door " . But the cracks does not figure under Areas of Concern. I in fact asked him about these cracks and he brushed off saying "you are not buying a brand new house" . All I am trying to figure out is what might be causing these cracks and might those cracks (ceiling, Wall and Floor) be related

We are buying a 1963 Single Family Raised Ranch. Inspection was done . Here are the problems which he cited but did not list any of these as major concern. 1) The upper level Ceiling is cracked in more than one place. The cracks are from one wall of house to other . Also, there are some horizontal cracks on walls (drywall) . House was recently painted (to hide issues I believe ?) . Is this a structural issue ? Attic is not very accessible (through a closet and has no floor to walk on). The house had a new roof if that helps 2) The floor tiles of upper level bath are cracked . I am handy enough to replace tiles but wondering if it is a structural problem . 3) Lower level bathroom door frame and some trim has water stains and high moisture. Seller says his children were playing with water . But even 3 days after he stopped using that bath, I found very high moisture using my moisture meter. No other area shows moisture but I would add that all trim are newly replaced. Wondering if it is just a drain pipe leaking or water from ground.
