inI Used to Skip Professional Inspections, Now I Swear By Them
That 'suspense movie' feeling @benn32 mentioned is so real. When my last place had foundation cracks, I made sure to get a second opinion from a structural engineer. He explained every noise and shift in plain terms, which calmed me down. He even showed me photos of similar houses and how they settle over time, so now I know which sounds are normal.
