My husband and I are looking at a house and we noticed that there were a few cracks in the mortar of the cinder block foundation, in the basement under the garage. I have never seen this kind of foundation and I dont know if its common or not. Also the house was built in 1987 and I had read that over time cinder blocks can go bad and rot is that also true if you cant tell Im a little worried so if some one would mind giving me some piece of mind that would be great.
