Hi all. I have a crack appearing (1/4") in my wall (2 1/2 feet tall), just above the drain. I pointed it up not so long ago, however, the plaster has just simply cracked again.
To stop/slow this process down, I was going to chip out some mortar quite near the base of the house and the ground, and push in a steel plate (approx 3" width and 2 1/2 feet long). The plate shold be adequate to cover the visual roots of the crack ( i.e the parts of the crack that I can see). I was just going to point it up after.
Is this process advisable. As You can guess I'm not a builder, more of a imaginative diyer/botcher!!!!lol
Pls can somebody advise me if its safe or not. Nice one
