Q: Why is my ceiling cracking where it meets the wall?

• <div><p>Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.</p></div>

Q: Will my insurance cover ceiling collapse repairs?

• <div><p>Generally, your homeowner&rsquo;s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.</p></div>

Q: What causes plaster damage?

• <div><p>Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.</p></div>

Q: What are the best practices for keeping plaster walls in good condition?

• <div><p>To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.</p></div>
