Firstly, You need to make sure your roof is not leaking o.
The solution is for you to regash, redress and shine the crack line .. just call any Pop guy to come with a bit of POP powder and FILAX, It will do the trick

But before doing all this check your roofing for leakage and your walls for ground moisture seepage

Cheers
The part I don't understand it linking of roof. How do you mean sr. Can linking of roof cause this kind of crack.
Thanks

I knew of someone with similar experience too and noticed thesame goes to everyone in that environment, only those that did German floor and DPc were safe... recently spoke with someone on the issue and was told that if only they had done those things stated, they wont be going through such and the cracks keeps coming from different places, like close to door frames, wall demarcation areas etc...the cracks are always increasing during dry season too, someone suggested we break those crack regions and fill with small 8" rods or bottles then dress with good quantity of cement..
Am sorry for this. I have seen a building with good German floor still experience this kind of crack. The situation is pathetic. There are some places here where you experience re-digging of well bcs of sand from well wall fell back to well water and fill it up. I must tell us my septic hole has several cracks around the wall and this will definitely happen under the whole house.
Thanks

Beat down the block setting to 225,000
4500 X 50 for each block =225,000
5k X for 100blocks meaning bricklayer 3500 and service 2500 = 225,000
tell the dude 210,000 for the blocks

I meant Roof leakage not linkage, it's when your roof allows waters and other related element to pass through it because of holes and openings in your roof.. so you need to check for those leakage and repair them

Pls how do I measure the length of a house to know the cartons of tiles I need to tile the external walls and also what is the standard height for tiling of external walls, someone told me to tile from the lower window sill down to the floor. A tiler has given me 120sqm but I doubt it

Cracks on buildings is slightly common around the location.

This is one of problems facing here (ILESA). Some claim the foundation is faulty forgetting the state of the land as a whole. Google can help with the likely solution, sr.

Howdy bro... Get a measuring tape. Measure length and breadth of the intended place and multiply it. That is, area(m^2) = lenght (m) * breadth (m). Eg, 10m * 6m = 60m^2 or 60 square meters. Dazzol... Best regards... wink

Pls how can this defect be solved.

Cracks shows up whenever its dry season

Check if the cracks get into the foundation or it stop on the dpc (German floor). If it stop on the German floor, it can be salvaged easily. But if it goes through to the foundation, it's a differential settlement and needs a technical approach.

Good Luck!
