About the wall doctor
Is this a diagnosis?
No. It is a starting point from common patterns. The same sign can have more than one cause, so we look at the wall in person.
Why does the urgency change?
Some signs, such as a leaning chimney or a stair-step crack, can mean movement or a safety problem, so they weigh more than a cosmetic stain.
What if I tick nothing?
Then the wall is probably in good shape. A look every year or two still catches small problems early.
