concrete block step crack - load bearing wall
I have a cinder block/stucco house in Florida. A step crack has developed on an exterior wall that is a load bearing wall. The crack begins at a window and "steps down" to the floor. There is very little/no seperation in the crack -
the builder suggest caulking and repainting. What is recommeneded as the preferred repair method? Thanks CBrett Last edited by cbrett1979; 03-10-2012 at 08:00 PM. Reason: clarify wording - |

concrete block step crack - load bearing wall
Is there a crack in the slab at the bottom of the short crack up to the window corner?
