Crack in roof ceiling - 1 year old building

Post by senthil1974 »

Hi Experts,

My house constructed a year ago, I noticed lot of hairline cracks in the roof ceiling. It starts from center and goes to all the four corners. Please let me know whether it is something related to structural issue. Attached few photos.

I suggest to better bring a Mestri and chop the plastering part(from house ceiling) a little bit and see if any underlying roof has any cracks or not. If you do not see any cracks in roof, then it can be concluded as lack of curing was done to roof ceiling (plastering).
All the best.

I think it is the roof muddy or the liquid cement layer cracks on the which is a thin layer on the top of roof. If you dont see any leaks, nothing to worry.

Hi Senthil
Like ramki suggested you should first chip the plastering at the crack and inspect for any slab deep cracks. As per image it looks like plastering crack only.
In case it plastering crack you should chip it of and apply ceiling plaster glue first and then re-plaster to avoid cracks later.
