Vertical Cracking in Walls
Vertical Cracking to Structural Walls
Understanding Vertical Cracking in Walls
Vertical cracking in walls is a common occurrence in buildings and can be indicative of underlying structural issues. These cracks typically run vertically along the walls and can range from minor hairline fractures to more significant splits.
Causes of Vertical Cracking
Vertical cracks in walls can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Settlement: Over time, buildings naturally settle into the ground, which can put stress on the walls and lead to cracking.
Foundation Problems: Issues with the building’s foundation, such as poor construction or soil movement, can result in uneven settling and subsequent cracking.
Moisture Infiltration: Water infiltration due to leaks, poor drainage, or high humidity levels can weaken the integrity of the walls, making them more susceptible to cracking.
Structural Overload: Excessive weight or pressure on the walls, whether from internal sources like heavy furniture or external sources like nearby construction, can cause them to crack vertically.
