Once again, I don't have an issue with the house settling and eventually causing a crack. My issue is with a brand new house with concrete only a few weeks old already having cracks going the whole length of the floor. And those cracks being considered acceptable. To me that isn't a sign of the settling; more of a poor prep job.
Especially in a basement where the concrete was not exposed to the elements when it cured.
