Hairline ceiling cracks are usually cosmetic when the material around them is solid. The National Park Service notes hairline cracks in wall and ceiling plaster are not a serious concern as long as the underlying plaster is in good condition.
A ceiling crack is serious when it comes with sagging, water stains, or a widening gap. Loose ceiling plaster left unrepaired can fall, according to the National Park Service, which warns that gravity will cause chunks of plaster to drop.
Seam cracks usually come from framing movement, loose fasteners, or heavy wet texture on thin board. USG warns heavy water-based textures can sag gypsum ceilings with high heat and humidity, poor ventilation, or board too thin for the framing span.
If a ceiling crack is sagging, stained, or growing quickly, stay out from under it. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can check whether it is a surface repair or needs another trade first.
