Looking for someone to hire that can fix this. This is happening over our window that overhangs outside. Underneath the window was no support. The wife wanted to add stone over the stucco around the window when we first moved in. So I did. Built a support under the window and had at it. I'm wondering if this is a result from the weight of the stone added 15 years ago?

Need a lot more detail to help point you in the right direction.

Is there any cracking below the window? Any cracking in the floor? Is the cracking just to one side as the picture shows? What is the roof area over it? Is it a valley close by or in the middle of a wall where it's just the roof overhang? You may want to remove the drywall around the window to see what's going on behind it, see if the masonry block is cracked, any water penetration, etc...

You might want to ask this in GD. My first thought was to check the sinkhole maps, but Brevard county doesn't appear to participate in the epidemic of the counties around Tampa Bay.

10-4
I have something in GD now, getting a lot of silly banter but a few good points. I'm going to take more pictures of the outside area showing the window, ground, roof, etc. There's a crack exactly same spot but outside as well. I'm thinking this stone I added it a problem being that its a framed house. |

Good to know. So basically remove the stone. Then remove the drywall, fix the joints, etc. ??

IF it is not growing I would fill and re-tape.
