Hi there,
My fiance and I are new homeowners, and we're still learning a lot. Just recently, I noticed a crack that's about 16 inches long running along one of our home's perimeter walls, near the corner of our dining room. Our roof is only a few years old, so I was at first doubtful that it's caused by a leak...but I'm not sure. We're planning on going up into the attic to check for moisture the next time it rains here in Indiana.
In the meantime, any input would be appreciated. Is it possible that this is just a settling crack? Our house was built in the early 80s. If we don't find any moisture in the attic, should we just try to patch the crack? I just want to get this taken care of before it turns into a more serious problem. I get so paranoid about every little imperfection we find in our home. :help:
