Cracks that widen, run horizontally, show movement, admit water, or appear with sticking doors and sloping floors deserve prompt professional review. What should I include in a request? Include the symptom, where it appears, when you noticed it, photos if available, and whether it seems to be changing. What photos should I take? Wide room photos, closeups of cracks with a coin or ruler for scale, exterior drainage shots, and photos of doors, windows, or floor changes.
