For many purposes, holes and cracks can occur in your inner walls. Horizontal cracks are worse than vertical cracks as a rule of thumb and could mean that there are major problems. Due to temperature changes, lousy foundations, or moisture, cracks can occur. Usually major cracks are the result of bad foundations. If you have deep horizontal cracks in your walls, ceilings and floors, call seasoned plasterers.
It is startling how quickly plasterboard walls can suffer unsightly harm in everyday life. Small bumps and hits from the kids running about, shifting furniture quickly. All these and more can easily put big holes and cracks in your walls. You will often find old screw or mounting holes in your walls or ceilings from permanent shelving units and wardrobes. During small renovations around the home, old plumbing holes in wet-area walls that were covered by vanities. Or even unused electrical outlets that previous renovators had improperly covered. Hole repairs are very common.
Are holes and cracks appearing in your house? Do your doors stick? Doorways shift, or do strange and alarming lines appear on your walls? If the answer is yes, blame our extended hot weather and lack of rainfall. Reduced soil moisture has a significant impact on home structures, resulting in cracking and shifting. It can also be caused by sun exposure, as well as heat and low rainfall. Or tree and shrub root systems that rob valuable soil moisture.
Look for signs such as creaky and uneven floorboards, moving doorways, sticking windows, uneven wallpapers and deteriorating cracks of walls and tiles. Homes in older suburbs and those with lack of maintenance and structural cracks. These are high risk and are the most at-risk properties. To preserve your home’s structural integrity, a professional must inspect severe cracks. Typically greater than five millimeters and perform some sort of structural repair if necessary.
