Re: How to fix cracked render?

Hello @Josiah99 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about fixing your cracked render.

 

I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - How to fix cracks on rendered wall? by @Pramitha. I suspect that there is a leak in your stormwater pipe and is affecting this section of the house as seen in the cracks in your wall and the separation of the concrete base from the house. Unless this is addressed fixing the render will be a wasted effort as the cracks will appear again as soon as the wall starts to move. 

 

I propose engaging the services of an engineer and have them assess the damage and asking them what the repair options are. If you are curious about the repair of the render, I recommend looking at this guide - How to repair a rendered wall by @Nailbag

 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

Hi @Josiah99 

 

before repair I would agree with @EricL in contacting a local engineer to first establish the cause as there appears to be quite a lot of significant breaks.
