Example

Prompt

A homeowner reports diagonal cracks near a window corner. What should be inspected first?

Response

First determine whether the crack is active or stable, document the crack pattern and width, inspect for signs of settlement, water intrusion, and drainage issues, and evaluate whether the wall is load-bearing before considering repairs.
