Since I figured it was just the house settling, I didnt think to much of it. I just pulled up the cracked tile to replace it and saw that there is a crack in the slab. I attached pictures. One still has the thinset on it and the other two I have chipped it away. The crack in the slab is not very wide, its about a .5 pencil wide. Im hoping that since it has been so long and isnt wider its just settling. I did a cursory check out side and didnt see any cracks. I will do a more in depth look tomorrow when I have day light. thanks. kila

They do make a membrane material that can help bridge that crack, contact your local tile supply store, not a box store and talk to them about what you are doing.
