Wall Cracks

The significance of wall cracks is that they often point to problems in the foundation ground. Cracks that are more than 5mm wide and cracks that open and close with the weather usually point to relatively serious problems with the ground. A Better Build can advise you on the recommended methods to correct these problems. Wall cracks do usually close up when your building is raised up and re-leveled. This is not the case, however, with every project, due to a number of possible factors, including when and or brick particles have entered a crack, or when the lifting process must be limited to prevent damage occurring in other parts of the structure. In most cases, as Building footings are raised, brickwork cracks usually close up so much that only minor re-pointing of the mortar joints is required. When cracks in painted walls close up as your building is re-pointed and re-leveled, generally only minor patching and painting is required.
