To determine which cracks are of a nature that warrant repair, we factor the direction, intensity, and location of the cracks and in relation to other adjacent building features such as flooring, doors, countertops, trim molding, and anything else that can be used to sense a pattern of separation or establish a direction of movement. Cumulatively, this then leads to the prescription for that particular procedure. This is akin to a surgeon determining his or her approach to how to solve what ails the patient while yet doing no further harm in the process. Simply put; limited problem, limited repair.
