how quickly should I fix cracked tiles/walls?

Ok, the builder and an independent foundation company both say that no foundation damage happened, just some settlement. What should I do with these cracks on tiles and on walls. Would leaving them alone cause any problem? When and how should I fix those?

    Cracked tiles, if there are no sharp edges won t cause a problem but should be fixed if you have spare tiles.

    Wall s you don t describe exactly what type of crack so no one can help there to much..

    If its the wall board thats cracked that can be a big job. If its a corner crack there are a couple ways to do this.

    Tiles ( if you have or can get extra) can be pulled out, the area cleaned and tiles put back in.

    Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

    If someone built your house and cracks have appeared then they should fix them.
