Why Are My Walls Cracking. They are caused by lateral pressure from the surrounding soil and can cause the basement wall to bow out. The outside walls (brick and cedar) show no cracks at all.
This one is directly under the window.
We just got our bathroom redone, so it's most bothersome here. How much would this run minus painting? Wall board cracks or just the paint peeling ? This is why you will find cracks at the corners of almost every door and window in the house.
