Send a couple of photos and a few details about your crack. We read every submission and use them to decide which guides to write and improve, and when we can, we’ll reply with the guide that fits.
This isn’t an inspection. No one can tell from photos whether a foundation is safe, so if your wall has a horizontal crack, bows inward or has one side sticking out, skip the form and have a structural engineer look at it.
Thanks. Your crack details and photos were sent.
That didn't go through. Check the required fields and try again. Photos can total 10 MB at most.
What photos help most?
Two photos tell us far more than one:
- One from a few feet back, so we can see where the crack runs and what’s around it.
- One close-up with a coin or tape measure right next to the crack, so we can judge its width.
If the crack has grown, photos from different dates help too. The crack monitoring guide shows how to mark and measure one.
What happens to your photos?
We use them to answer you and improve the guides. They’re published only if you tick the permission box, and never with your name, email or address. The privacy policy has the details.
