Hello,
We live in a 1980's house that is built in an area of clay soil. I don't know much about building or diy, and sometimes I get worried when I see things.
I was looking outside, and I saw there are cracks in the mortar along bits of the bottom of our house. Is this a problem, or is it just to do with the shrinkage and lift caused by the clay soil?
Here are some pictures:
If it is a problem, how can I fix it in a simple way?
Many thanks.
