There may be small cracks which do not affect the structure of the buildings; These cracks do not affect the safety or horizontality of the building, but they do affect its habitability and aesthetics; These cracks (as small as a hairline crack) can occur in the interior of partition walls as well as in the facades, but due to their size and behaviour they do not pose a structural hazard;<\/p>\n

What to do about construction defects such as cracks<\/h2>\n

Contact us so that a qualified expert can evaluate them and assess their importance; The technician will be able to rule out that they are cracks and that they affect the structure, will issue a report explaining the origin of these cracks and will make a repair proposal, which will probably be simple, but which will also have to be valued economically;<\/p>\n

They can also claim other habitability damages such as problems in swimming pools<\/a>, bad odors<\/a>, damage to facilities<\/a>, humidity<\/a>, air filtration<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n

Legal claim period for cracks in the walls<\/h2>\n

If these cracks cause the non-fulfilment of the habitability requirements, according to article 17.1.b, the intervening agents will have a liability for 3 years, and from the moment these damages have been manifested, there will be a period of 2 years to exercise the opportune actions;<\/p>\n
