Cracks in brickwork can be a major concern.

July 24, 2014/in Inspection tips

If there are cracks in the brickwork of a house you are considering buying, it is important to seek further advice from a suitably qualified building practitioner to identify the cause and give you advice regarding the cost of rectification. There are a number of reasons why brickwork cracks. The most common is foundation movement, which can be caused by a number of factors. Water, trees, construction methods and poor workmanship are just a few causes of foundation movement and in most cases rectification can be expensive. Builders at Melbourne House Check know how to diagnose brickwork cracks.
