Zeb Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 I have some serious cracks in my walls that are getting worse. I really need some ethical professionals who can advise me on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapalence Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 The ground in CH is constantly moving and if your house is one built on escombro fill it will move even more. Our realtor had a similar problem as yours in their house up on Codornices. Soon after we bought ours, they hired the same crooked crew we used in remodeling our house to assess the cracks in their house. He advised them that filling the cracks in the walls and floors that were as wide as 15 cm would do nothing but cover the real problem, but that's what they opted to do. They sold the house shortly afterwards. Buyer beware! Bueno suerte in finding a real solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were told that, yet they chose to pass the problem on. BTW, these weren't short cracks. Some, as described to me by the "contractor" went almost ceiling to floor.

mattoleriver Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Fifteen centimeters is right around six inches. Even 15 millimeters would be over half an inch and would require more than just a dab of spackling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
