Signs It’s Time to Call

  • Holes from doorknobs, moved furniture, or removed fixtures
  • Cracks that reopen after being filled and painted
  • Plaster that sounds hollow or moves when pressed
  • Stained or soft drywall below a bathroom or around a window

What’s Usually Behind It

  • Plaster keys broken away from the lath behind the wall
  • Seasonal framing movement from humidity swings and foundation settling
  • Past leaks from roofs, plumbing, or windows that have since been fixed
  • Poorly taped seams and patches from earlier repairs
NEPA context

Wall Repair in Northeastern Pennsylvania

Much of the housing in Scranton, Carbondale, Honesdale, Montrose, and the surrounding areas was built before drywall existed, and the original plaster is now a century old and separating from its lath. Freeze-thaw movement, 40 to 50 inch snow winters loading the framing, and humid summers keep cracks reopening at corners and above door frames across Lackawanna, Wayne, Susquehanna, and surrounding counties.
