Question

we haye built a house five months back.now cr acks have appeared in the ceiling.i know about the cracks on the
wall but not ceilng.please tell me is it o.k or how to rectify the problem

Answer 1

If it's a crack in drywall have your contractor come back and repair. Probably just a tape/joint repair due to the house settling. If it appears again call your homeowner's insurance company. They'll probably pay for an inspector to figure out if it's a big problem or not.

Answer 2

Sounds like the joint compound on the seams shrunk. Goodness, was this a do it yourself job? Time to call a professional for assessment & high quality repair job.

Time to call Judge Judy if you had someone else do it! I hope you had some kind of contract that they guarantee their work. Do they have a contractors license, bonded & insured? If so, have them come back & threathen to sue them in small claims court for the costs of having a *real* contractor fix it. (take pictures).
Good luck!

Answer 3

This is normal......we are going through the same thing right now with our new house...hopefully, like us you have a warrantee with the builder.....he will come back to fix them but he won't repaint though. Don't forget that when a house is built it has to settle..

Answer 4

if you just built the house, you should a have a walkthrough with your builder scheduled in the first year. he will have to fix all the problems you find like the cracks.

Answer 5

very common problem in a pefect world they would let a house settle a year before drywalling it but everyone is hurry hurry any drywall specialist will know what to do

Answer 6

YOUR HOUSE IS SETTLING, YOU NEED TO CALL A TAPER IN AND HAVE HIM FIX HE CRACKS..............BUT I WOULD WAIT A WHILE LONGER AS YOU MAY GET EVEN MORE CRACKS AS THEHOUSE SETTLES

Answer 7
