Severe slab cracking on an established property
Between 4mm and 10mm is a category, not an opinion.
In short: The tolerances guide sorts cracking by width, and this sits well outside acceptable.
Categories, not impressions
The guide categorises cracking by width and location. That is why it is measured.
What we recorded
Slab cracking measured between 4mm and 10mm, in the severe range.
What severe means
Well outside acceptable, warranting an engineering opinion rather than a patch.
The related findings
Corner cracking at door and window openings, which is where movement shows first.
What to do
Get it measured, then get an engineer if the category calls for it.
