The most common wall and structural cracks mistakes Dubai owners make are waiting too long, choosing the cheapest quote. Treating symptoms instead of causes. Each one costs more in the end. Here is how to avoid them.
Mistakes to avoid
- Ignoring early warning signs until damage spreads
- Hiring on price alone rather than competence
- Patching the symptom and leaving the cause
- Skipping scheduled upkeep in Dubai's harsh climate
The Dubai context
- cracks wider than about 3mm or growing deserve assessment
- hairline cracks from plaster shrinkage are usually cosmetic
- new Dubai buildings settle and crack in the first years
