Stair-step settlement cracks in sandy south-county soil
Palm Bay’s sand shifts, and when a slab settles even slightly the stucco above it tells on it — stair-step cracks tracking the block joints, wider openings near corners and window heads. Those are different from ordinary heat hairlines and need more depth of attention, but they are repairable. The walk-through sorts one from the other honestly, and you get told which is cosmetic and which is worth doing now.
