10 Hidden Signs Your House Has a Huge Problem

A Crack Just Appeared in Your Window Glass

When you discover a new crack in one of your home’s windows, a little sleuthing is in order. If you’ve ruled out impact (if, for instance, the neighbor kid who likes to throw rocks is away on vacation), the crack could be a result of structural shifting that created undue pressure on the glass.

Pressure cracks will often show up as a single crack that runs from one edge of the window to another. Examine interior walls and exterior brick or stone siding to see if cracks are also visible in mortar joints. If you find more cracks, it’s time to have a contractor or structural engineer take a look.
