In residential homes it is standard prcatice for services such as electrical and plumbing water pipes to be chased into walls (chasing is the cutting and chiselling out of a rebate within the brick wall) to enable the services to be concealed in the wall.

If the chase is too deep or the chiselling is too agressive this can cause the structual integrity of the wall to be comprised and ongoing visable cracks apearing in the internal plaster surface of walls.
