What causes cracks in brick walls and mortar?
The main reason for cracks in brick walls or mortar is large trees or incorrect downpipe for stormwater. Poorly layed bricks and incorrectly laid foundations are also susceptible to ground movement. Ground movement is caused by things such as moisture, drought, or tree roots but well laid foundations should not be affected by these things.
A long dry summer or very wet winter will also cause movement which in turn can cause cracks to walls and ceilings.
What causes cracks to reappear after repairs?
Cracks usually appear due to cracks being covered not fixed. You have to fix the problem and not bandaid it!
So how do Adelaide Crack Repairs fix walls and ceilings?
The correct way of fixing cracks involves removing all mortar from the cracked joint, re morter, re render, re plaster and then soft plaster and sand so that the repair can not be seen.
