Re: Symmetrical Stucco Cracks On Both Sides of House
Jim,
It's possible - as I said, normally these would not much concern me.
Part of the diagnostic difficulty in this case results from the fact that both lower cracks are patched, so I can't tell if they are wider than those above, or wider at their bottoms than tops below the first floor windows - "self-made expansion joints" should be pretty even.
Another thing that makes me uneasy is that both cracks line up so exactly above and below their interruptions at windows, and that they occur so close to the same distance along their respective walls.
Likely I will recommend the SE, and if the clients elect to have him take a look meet him on site - I guess if I'm off the deep end , I'll hear about it.
I'll post if there is an SE evaluation, in the meantime any other other comments or suggestions are appreciated.
