External Cracks

Man these are some good special effects - very helpful video.

Great video!

wow very well shown.

Thanks for the tip that was useful

Bit superficial to be honest and in particular a tapered crack does not necessarily mean subsidence (which was not defined). For example it could be the opposite - heave. Anyone interested in cracking to their house would be well served to read Building Research Establishment Digest 251 (Assessment of damage in low-rise buildings) as this is the document most surveyors initially refer to anyway. Most importantly it concludes that “The only certain way of confirming the progression of damage is to take a series of measurements with time.”

What about builders crack? Or smoking crack?

Good video. Have you got a magic pen finger?

What if the crack is in a straight vertical line, close to the corner of the house, wider at the top, hairline towards the bottom? The crack itself is not close to the bottom of the house, about 5ft above the foundations, and probably about 2-3 ft in length. Described it to a surveyor over the phone, was told it was more than likely a thermal crack. Any information would help. Thanks

Awesome visual effects, you guys could work for NASA.

Gorilla glue fix that right up
