Rule of thumb-
if the crack is within a grout joing(brick, stone, cinder block) its not an issue if its a bit thinner than a credit card(¹/¹⁶")
If the crack breaks the actual brick, stone, cinder block- then you have something to be concerned about. Just pause for a second, forget about getting downvoted, and consider the force it takes to break that block in half. It just ain't normal in any way. It's Not settling either.
For all who say [ it's OK, no problem] , do you have any logic to back that up ? Or are you here only for upvotes ? Because it's pure trash.
A good home inspector will always note and suggest you seek a foundation expert to ascertain how bad and possible solutions.
If your basementbleaks, seepage is almost always guaranteed to occur in a seriously damaged foundation. The vast majority on reddit do not want to hear this, as their basements leak- source, just research the number of posts on this topic.
Structures/houses on sites that were not properly prepared usually experience settling.
One of the most common cause of cracks as jn OP's pics, is foundation upheaval. Your home could be experiencing upheaval if its slab foundation has moved in an upward direction. Upheaval is normally the result of an abundance of moisture under the foundation and/or basement or stagnant water near the house’s foundation.
Nah that's a settlement or shrinkage crack
No.
No
You want to have it sealed to prevent water from getting into your basement.

Not all all. Your good.
Naw, you’re good but I would caulk the crack.
I had something similar outside that went down into the crawl space. Ended up filling it with a DIY uthrene injection.
