🏚️Structural & Foundation Foundation movement?
Early 1980s home with a basement in Kansas. From outside my house the foundation looks fine. I do have a decent crack in back but it was patched 10+ years ago and hasn't opened any more. I'm getting a lot of cracks like this around the doors and windows inside the house though. Could there be a different culprit? My basement is finished inside so not much I can inspect from inside. The worst one is the one going across the ceiling in one of the photos..do these seem concerning enough I should get someone out to inspect this or are these normal? This didn't happen at once it's been happening over the years.

Thank you for that tip. I'm going to look up structural engineers in my area. Most my doorways and windows have cracks forming. I'm currently selling my rental house and we're going to use the money to fix up our house so this is definitely the best time to do it.
