   Question    posted to Masonry Contractors on 12/16/08 04:18 PM, Briarcliff Manor, NY 10510
My house has a brick wall on the lower level and wood siding on the upper.  
I noticed a fairly large step-wise crack running along the side of the brick wall.  It crosses a window and the window frame is tilted.  I have also seen straight lines develop in the paint in the middle of the interior walls, and round chips of paint on the seam of my pitched ceiling.

I am concerned about the crack and the structural integrity of the house.  I am not sure if I need to consult an engineer first, or a masonry contractor.  

Please let me know your recommendations and contact information.

The house is in Briarcliff Manor.

Thanks.

We are a family owned buisness for over 20 years located in valhalla.  i would have a masonry contractor/carpenter asses the situation first as our estimate is free & this is what our company deals with.  We are 3 different partners all specializing in 3 different aspects of construction carpentry masonry/concrete landscaping & demolition  i am sure if you contact an engineer there will be a consulting fee.  We would come in and check the existing foundation as well as the following are there any large trees near the house do you have water problems or a natural stream near by  has there been any new construction near your home.  Are you currently on a slope or is the house built on natural rock does it have a  block or concrete foundation.  As you can see there are many things to look at in order to asses your situation.  I feel that we are extremely qualified to help you resolve this situation and make sure your home stays up.
