In my last basement with poured concrete walls I watched a crack appear
as the track loader sped by to dump dirt around to the side of the
house. As I ran up to tell him to take a different route, I remembered
the guy took a shortcut when excavating and made a 2nd access ramp at
that spot so he didn't have to go halfway around the house to dump the
dirt. He should have at least been extra careful and/or stayed out of
that area until it settled.
