   How do you know if a wall is cracking?

   • Most of the cracks you see in walls will likely be paper thin and anything less than a 1/8” is usually nothing to be concerned about. Cracks wider than this are, again, a sign there could be something wrong structurally. Where the crack is can also tell you how serious it is.

   • Your home is new. If your home is a new build, cracks may appear as the buildings settles into its foundations. These cracks will be very fine and will not grow over time.
   • Your home is old. Older homes will move over time. 'Traditional buildings were constructed using lime and other materials, which allow for some shifting of the structure,' explains Roger Hunt.
   • Plaster shrinkage. Plaster shrinkage is one of the most common causes of cracks in walls and is the result of moisture loss as the plaster dries and sets.
   • Damp and moisture ingress. As well as causing the signature dark marks on walls and ceilings, damp can also cause cracking. Usually these two symptoms will appear together and should be investigated, especially if they have occurred after heavy rain or flooding.
