Experts say a small crack in your sheet rock may be no real cause for concern. But if the cracks get bigger you may need to call for back up.
"Last night was just like, oh well, just another one," said Pat Smith about the latest earthquake.
She was not worried about what another earthquake might do. She's been dealing with cracks and sealing them for years. Her property has been so mobile, she created scrapbook... entitled, "How To Mend a Broken House."
But the earthquakes made it worse.
"It's mainly the ceilings that have gotten worse," she explained and showed us. "I just kind of I'm aware of them, so I've been watching them and it's just like I will find chunks and I just notice they are a little wider than before it happened," she said.
Experts feel her pain.
"I felt the rumble felt the shake vibrations. It was kind of strange," said Rich Bond of Olshan Foundation Repair.
The earthquake could feel like more money rolling in at Olshan.
"To a point its dollars signs. But it is false calls too," he said. They've had more calls since the earthquakes begin. And they have a backlog of structural repairs from the drought this summer.
If you see cracks in your bricks, that's a sign of damage. And remember not every crack means trouble, experts say.
"If you notice windows and doors not working properly that is pretty significant sign that the foundation has shifted and that is what you need to be more concerned about than just small crack in sheet rock," he said.
Pat the homeowner says what's another crack, after all the money they've spent. She's given up on selling the house.
"See I'm probably one of those people who wants the house to fall down," she lamented.
And inspection is free. But repairs to structural damage can soar into thousands of dollars.
