Sleep again
The worst part of a mystery crack isn't the crack — it's the 2 a.m. wondering. An honest answer, either way, gives you your peace of mind back. And when the answer is "it's cosmetic," you'll have a PE's word on it, in writing.
That crack has been keeping you up at night. Let's find out the truth.
Sometimes it's nothing. Sometimes it isn't. What you need is an honest engineer who will look at your home, tell you the truth either way, and put a license behind the answer — not a contractor with a repair to sell.

1. Is the crack (or gap) getting bigger over time?
This tool is general guidance, not an engineering evaluation. Every home is different — when in doubt, have a licensed PE take a look.
