Hairline Cracks
Under one eighth inch wide, usually from normal shrinkage during curing. Typically cosmetic but should be sealed to prevent water infiltration over time.
Diagonal Cracks
From the corners of windows and doors, diagonal cracks typically indicate differential settlement. Moderate-width diagonal cracks warrant monitoring.
Horizontal Cracks
In foundation walls, horizontal cracks indicate lateral soil or water pressure. These are among the most serious crack types requiring immediate structural evaluation.
Stair-Step Cracks in Brick or Block
Follow the mortar joints indicating foundation movement or settlement. The direction and pattern provide clues about the underlying cause.
