I'm not a professional. But, I am looking for professional advice. I'm a widow & bought a home in 2003. It's a ranch style home & I relied on the homeowner & realtor to be honest with me. There were cracks in corners of the 4 foot doorway going in to the kitchen. The realtor said there was a jack under the house (crawlspace) He went under & cranked the house up some. The crack closed, I bought the house. Since that time, my closet door in my bedroom will not close. The front door will not close. I have to lift up & pull & engage the deadbolt. The regular door thingy no longer lines up & will not stay shut without the deadbolt. I came home from work last night at 10:PM & my back door (french doors, one side) was wide open. I can't shut it now & have a chair propped up to keep it closed. Doesn't exactly make me feel safe! Does this ALWAYS mean an expensive foundation problem? Can it mean I simply need to have the house jacked up again? I'm by no means wealthy and am looking for a permanent CHEAP fix. Any opinions will be appreciated.
Thanks

There could be so many possible causes that comment here is not possible, except to advise you to find an architect who knows what he or she is doing, or a structural engineer, and ask them to first determine the cause of your problems, and then to recommend possible solutions. But don't accept any recommendations without a clear, understandable and positive explanation of the cause. Good luck.
