What Causes Ceiling Cracks?

Cracking in ceilings can be caused by a variety of factors, but all need to be addressed as soon as you can. Here are some of the main reasons that you may notice cracks in your ceiling.

Structural Settling

Buildings naturally settle over time, which is why you may notice some old houses have bowing walls or ceilings if they’ve been abandoned for a long time. The weight of the structure and changes in the ground can speed up this process, which will appear as cracks in the walls and ceiling. This is an issue that needs to be addressed by foundation repair experts, because settling starts from the bottom up.

Poor Construction

Improper construction techniques may lead to cracking in your ceiling. These can be due to insufficient support beams or inadequate materials, which won’t serve to hold up the weight needed for your home.

Making sure to call an inspection from our team can allow you to see if it was the construction instead of the foundation, giving you a better idea of what you’re working with.

Temperature And Humidity Changes

Temperature and humidity changes can cause the ground beneath your foundation materials to expand and contract, causing a lot of shifting in your walls and ceiling.

Over time, this repeated expansion and contraction can cause massive structural instability, which results in cracking. Make sure to look in your basement for crack formation on your walls, and call The Crack Guys if you suspect it may be due to these changes.

Scheduling Structured Foundation Repairs

Your foundation is the unexpected key to maintaining your wall and ceiling health over time. This is because it takes the large weight of the house and distributes it in a way that allows for your home to stand tall! Scheduling foundation repairs is a meticulous process, but it ensures that your home has stability and longevity.

The first step is a comprehensive assessment that is conducted by one of our qualified technicians. Afterward, a detailed repair plan is formulated to ensure that you get the most out of your ceiling and walls. By following a strategic and wall-communicated schedule, you can restore the stability of your house and safeguard its structural integrity.
