The corner of my room started cracking little by little some 3 or 4 years ago.. now it has gotten to this level. You can hear what the person at the other end is saying sometimes. It's so scary.

Every 30 minutes, I do hear sound of small sand particles falling off. Guys how can this be fixed and how much would it cost?

Treat as urgent house

Oh

Damnnn niggar
Isoright
Just fill it up with well mixed concentrated cement

All this are a result of greediness
Una nor dey want buy enough cement for molding blocks...
Imagine una go dey do 1 bag of cement for 50 block

Instead of maximum of 33 blocks..same mistakes people are doing..they will run to buy metcopo roofing not knowing that if the wood work is not done by professional you will suffer later...just go for long span roofing

I resigned..stupid ippis...I bought a laptop then I started keyboarding..first it was hell for seven months but when I received my first steam card of more than 500 dolls I realised there is hope

Dangote cement

City Holder Builders, today's daily combo will be out in a very short time. Stay tuned.

Pack out of that house first before you seek for solution.

Get a structural engineer to take a look at your building and recommend and immediate fix.

Expansion, soil formation or error from the foundation

Low quality blocks

No pillers

No beam (the building is not chained)


.

House wey survive Ebola, Corona,Buhari 8 years

The house is old and weak

Wrong formation of walling, failed mixture, old building.. instability of soil formation and foundation

Piller

When you see this crack on a building... Two things involve.....
1-the plot is full with gold. Means you build on top of plenty gold....
2- you blocked road for jin/spirit or ghost......

Did you ever consider the fact that majority are buying blocks?

With comments like this you go just know say nairaland no be here

Urgently move out of that house first.

Okay the fact that this issue started about four years with the crack still increasing tells you that the problem is progressive. Remember, baba was not aware before he handed us over to T-Pain. The sound of sand you hear is because the house is giving way.
Possible cause.
1) A single line crack may suggest a bounding error during construction. This problems is less severe.
2). Settlement in the foundation as a result of poor soil formation ( loose soil, clay soil etc), inadequate foundation depth, poor quality of work, bad materials etc.


My guess is that the problem is from the foundation caused by soil settlement (movement or sinking of the soil underneath a building). From what is see the settlement is not localized. Meaning the problem is not at the very point where the crack is but some few meters away from that point.

Solution.

Underpinning. This however requires a technical and professional skill that the Mason that you now call engineer may not have. It will also cost you money.

My 10 kobo advice.

Whatever you do, that work cannot be done with you living inside that house. Also remember that the problem is progressive like APC, it will keeping getting worse. Never make the mistake of giving it time or vote, you may never live to tell the story.

Inadequate design, use of low-quality materials, incorrect concrete mixes, and poor workmanship during construction are common contributors to building cracks

The tieing was wrongly done where the pillar was supposed to be casted. Shows no pillar is used and the roof weight is on the wall directly. No reinforcement. It was done by a bricklaye.
