Cracking Walls

Recommended Posts

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.

15 centimeters, wow!  That is some serious structural failure.

Yep. 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. 

Who is the crew that was hired?  I want to make sure and not hire them.
