Some banks may be able to help you cash a ripped check. To others, a damaged check is worthless. If the check is torn, it's vital to ensure that all the information on the check is still clear. If your check gets torn accidentally, never try to glue or tape it back.
As long as the numbers/signature are fine, it's not usually an issue. There's a story of a guy who used welding tools to make a check on a 10 foot piece of sheet metal. The bank had to cash it as it was a valid negotiable instrument. Then they closed his account.
