[quote=Anonymous]16:50 here. I might recommend going back outside and looking up. Look for horizontal or vertical brick cracks on first, second floors. A small vertical crack is not uncommon in older brick homes. Horizontal exterior brick cracks are more problematic. Also, go inside your home to where this foundation wall is and check it from the inside if you can. Look to see if the wall seems to be standing straight or is bowing in. Check that wall perpendicular to the wall with the brick crack. Bricks are amazingly able to support via the way they are laid next to one another. Your concern is genuine, and I'd be upset if this was missed by the inspector. Now you can reach out to both the latter as well as an engineer and GC. I was pretty freaked out too but it all worked out.[/quote]
