If there is seperation cracks at joints where wood is nailed on and painted then that means some toward the ends has moved..look for it getting a fraction worse on one end..that will be the end that sunk mostly like but not always cuz the joining wall around may have rolled out from top was Masonry and leaning entire foundation or rolling out if that the case the 1x trim around the corner on wall that rolled will be flipping upwards from bottom of trim .. look for paint signs on the Brick when house has been painted this can tell you if wall has moved by showing where it originally was connected from masonry to Wood.. if you got any questions or concerns you're always welcome to call me 405 938 5458 Top Dawg Masonry

Anytime cement joints are cracked, something moved! or it was impacts from a direct hit. even hard vibrations. something caused micro bubbles to pop speeding up that spots erosion process in a local and over all 1 time speed up, ,,,,,,,UNLESS its caused from a break in the wall that changes the dynamics of the wall, meaning it no longer leans back and forth as temp. rises, and lean BACK as it cools, because of the Grinding affect and the jig&jag effect the wall goes into a wave motion I call it Ocean motion, this is the wall or the each row of brick to ,,in a micro sense,, do a slight snake action and slowly grinds away at the point the cement and brick meats, and because when the brick was laid, one side is "buttered on" the other is "pressed into place" or "squeezed on" this makes one side break of on each brick...
