Typical damageTypical damage•Small, usually diagonal, cracks which suddenly appear indoors in plaster work and outside in brickwork or render.
•Cracks occur at weak points, such as around doors and windows
•Cracks usually become noticeable in late summer.
•The cracks will normally be wider at the top.
•Doors and windows may also “stick” due to the distortion of the building.
