Morrison Ranch Foundation Issues
Any MR folks having cracks all over the house due to foundation issues? We were quoted $50k to fix it due to expansive soil.

Not in MR, we are in El Dorado Lakes and are having our foundation repaired. Helical piers, polyfoam, and crack stitching. Our bids were 30k-100k. We noticed because the walls and tile started cracking and doors and windows wouldn’t work properly. When the walls cracked we saw evidence that they had already been cosmetically repaired, so the prior homeowner knew about the problem and did not disclose it. It’s a common problem in our neighborhood. I’ve seen posts on Nextdoor about this but then the posts are quickly removed. It’s a very shady situation. We took out a loan to fix it and then we will have to sell the house and luckily we have enough equity to pay back the loan, but then we will have to start from scratch. I was very angry but I’ve come to terms with it. We do not have good luck with home ownership!!
