Many times when someone sees a crack in their concrete slab in their basement or crawlspace they wonder if it is a structural issue. So is your slab structural? The short answer: Probably not.
Your slab is there for a lot of reasons - human comfort, usability, moisture, etc. But for the most part the average slab in a basement or crawlspace doesn't (or shouldn't) hold anything up. So if you develop a crack in your slab, unless it is pushing against something, is usually not a structural issue.
