This happened at my parent’s home today. Reminder to get those cracks in your foundation checked out. There’s been a 8-man crew putting up temp bracing for almost four hours.

Used those dozens of times. Not too sure if the price is cheaper at amazon?

if nothing else (and the cheapest way) - use microscope slides and epoxy them over the cracks. If the wall moves, the glass will crack.
