i recently bought a brand new home in the tampa florida area. 3 weeks into living in the new home a crack formed straight across the home in the same place from one end of the house to another, and now the crack is spreading up an outside facing wall in my kitchen. the builder inspected the crack and said the crack was cosmetic, however, my family has been in construction for YEARS and seemed to indicate that this could be a structural issue in the slab foundation, and i agree with my families opinion. can anyone else give me an opinion on this? i dont think i should have a crack running from one end of the house to the other on the floor within 3 WEEKS!! UUUUGH!!!
