Hello Karsten,

Thanks. Let's do that once we have the contact details of the architect.

Regards,
Claus

Hello, thank you very much for the reply, we will still do proper documentation. I placed plaster markers today.

There was apparently a floor report. However, we do not have it.

Hello, thank you for the reply. There is no wallpaper. It is plaster. I applied gypsum markers today. According to relevant literature, 0.1 to 0.2 mm is supposedly harmless. We are above that though. I cannot check the floor slab. The basement is a living basement with underfloor heating and the floor coverings are already installed. What is strange is that the cracks only appear in the basement. Nothing in the ground floor or upper floor. Those were built with bricks (basement as said with concrete hollow blocks). Best regards, Claus

Thank you for the response. Cracks are only on load-bearing walls and only in the basement. We will probably get a professional if we can’t make any progress with the architect.

Regards,
Claus

Hello, thank you for the reply. We have a clay floor. That might take longer. Of course, we also hope that it comes to a stop.
Regards,
Claus
