Hi Guys,
I had an query from the builder in regards to some cracking in this existing block wall - see below. I don't have a lot more information about it. I just thought maybe someone may be able to help identify the cause of this cracking to me - Is it something that is of concern? Is it potentially due to some differential settlement of the foundation - I'm not entirely sure of the soil conditions. Or is it more shrinkage cracking. If it is something of concern, would it be be best for them to demolish and rebuild, or if its not too concerning, can possibly gap filler/caulk the cracks.
Cheers
