Q: What ceiling cracks are serious?

• <div><p>There are several warning signs that a ceiling crack is connected to a larger issue. For starters, if the crack is wider than 1/8 inch or longer than 12 inches, you might have a more serious problem. The same applies if you have multiple smaller cracks or cracks going across the ceiling and down the wall. In any of these situations, you should ask a professional to assess the damage.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a plaster ceiling?

• <div><p>If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-replace-plaster-with-drywall.htm">cost to replace plaster with drywall</a> is higher&mdash;running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing). </p></div>

Q: Why are my walls cracking so much?

• <div><p>Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-inspect-your-foundation.htm">foundation inspected</a>, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if I have plaster walls?

• <div><p>If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-tell-drywall-vs-plaster.htm">practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls</a>, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can&rsquo;t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.</p><p>If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.</p></div>

Q: Are cracks in plaster walls serious?

• <div><p>Small hairline cracks in plaster walls are not serious and are mostly cosmetic, but larger or widespread cracks indicate structural problems that need repair. </p><ul><li><p><b>Cracks 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner: </b>Cosmetic cracks you can repair if desired.</p></li><li><p><b>Cracks wider than 0.5 centimeters or widespread cracks: </b>Structural repair is needed, either DIY or by a pro.</p></li><li><p><b>Cracks 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) or wider: </b>Contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/plaster-plaster-repair/">plaster repair professional</a>.</p></li></ul><p>Watch for large, deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, and cracks along the walls where they meet the ceiling. Repair these cracks to prevent further damage.</p></div>
