Evaluating interior sheetrock cracks, door frame distortion, and differential foundation settlement in Florida homes.
In Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, diagonal sheetrock cracks originating from the top corners of interior doors or window frames usually indicate that one corner of the concrete slab or crawl space footing is dropping relative to the rest of the home.
Vertical hairline cracks at drywall tape seams are frequently caused by humidity fluctuations, but diagonal cracks extending outward at a 45-degree angle signal active foundation displacement.
If door frames are sticking or cracks exceed 1/8 inch, schedule a free structural laser-level inspection before drywall repairs are attempted.
