who would you call for an inspection
An experienced local Realtor told me he's not concerned about exterior settling cracks unless he can insert his pinky through the crack.

WCK in Denham Springs did an excellent job on our foundation in 2017. National Foundation also did an excellent job beefing up our tilting chimney foundation in 1984.

Yes, I believe he is correct. If you go to change them out, I would paint some Redgard or similar over the crack on each side of the crack before setting the new tile.

First we’ve heard of this. How bad is it? There are many reasons tile cracks
Settlement cracking in South Florida is practically unavoidable. Sandy soil. The weight of concrete block walls around the perimeter of the slab. Perimeter walls also bearing a portion of the the truss load. Extreme heat not allowing the slab to cure properly.

He also sent a detailed, certified report on his findings with all the suggested repairs.
Do you mind sharing what this costs? I have a family member that needs something similar done.
