Structural Stress
If you’re wondering why you are getting cracks, then there are a number of reasons to consider. If you have a plaster wall that is cracking in specific places time and time again then it could be because parts of the walls are sinking. Sinking happens over time due to soil moisture and other factors. There are certain finishes and products that you need to use on certain types of wall that you are working with. Sometimes we find that people use tape to hold together the cracks and we find that wind can get under it and you will start to see the wall bubble.
Time
This factor all depends on how big or small your crack is and where it is. The products we use usually dry really quickly which will allow us to fix up your cracks in a short amount of time. We will firstly need to assess the crack and understand why it is cracking in that place. We will need to open up the cracks to see how big it really is and how deep it goes. We will mix up the right bonds and chemicals for your specific crack, depending on the kind of crack and the reason behind it happening. We suggest keeping up with your cracks because if you’re getting them regularly then they will continue to grow and become worse.
