What are Exterior Wall Cracks?
Exterior wall cracks are a common issue that can occur in both new and old buildings. The technical details behind the appearance of these cracks can include several possible factors. It is important to understand how to repair exterior wall cracks professionally to maintain aesthetics and prevent future structural problems. Cracks in an exterior wall can form due to various factors such as ground movements, natural wear, water drainage issues, or incorrect design and construction of the structure. When a crack is discovered in an exterior wall, it can indicate a change in the pressure applied to the structure or that the building materials have loosened.
Why is it Important to Repair Cracks in the Wall?
Beyond the unflattering visual appearance of cracks in exterior walls, the issue of crack repair must be taken very seriously from a safety and structural perspective. Cracks in walls can allow water to enter the building, which can lead to moisture damage, material decay, and internal danger to the building. Prompt repairs can prevent more severe problems and stabilize the wall structure.

Finally, it is important to ensure that the wall after the repair is well protected against possible future water penetration.
