Structural vs non-structural wall cracks

Not every wall crack threatens your building. We help Guwahati homeowners tell the difference — and fix structural cracks before monsoon water reaches steel.

Symptoms

• Stair-step cracks in masonry
• Cracks wider than 3mm
• Doors/windows sticking
• Cracks at building corners

Diagnosis

Crack width monitoring, plumb check, and load path review. Structural cracks get epoxy injection or stitching; cosmetic ones get flexible fillers.

What crack width is dangerous?

Cracks over 3mm in load-bearing walls, or any crack through a column/beam, need professional assessment.
