Re: Cracks in wall
My top 10 to consider:
1) As stated, interior cracks above/ below windows and at the top corners of doors.
2) Flooring being uneven, cracked tiles, buckled wood planks, etc...
3) Exterior brick cracks from window corners (top/ bottom)
4) Exterior cracks where expansion joints are or should have been.
5) Fascia board corner trim separation
6) Ridge board-- separation of rafters
7) Hip jack rafters should be checked for separation
8) Fogged windows
9) Trees too close to the foundation-- evidence of roots causing upheaval
10) Improper grading and drainage (all encompasing of soils, guttering, high soils, low soils, dehydrated soils, areas of ponding water, etc...)
