Looking at the pix u posted to judge, I think the faults on the walls are as a result of long exposure to whether elements and not diffrencial settlement. faults on building as a result of settlement are always at 45 degrees these are perpendicular and wider at the top. Solutions should be as follows... Use rods at horizontal along the cracks to hold the separated potions together or turn the craks to columns and run a beam to hold the entire walls together. I still look forward to other suggestions. |

Ytechconst:sir, you nailed it. there are still some existing tree roots wch are even beginning to grow within one of the rooms. However, I will still take a more critical look at it. Thnx a great lot. |

alist:Sir, thnx for your observations, infact, thats the reason i sought advice considering the angle of the fault. However, a major cause of diff. settlements is an existence of roots close to the foundation. Now, this is present in this case. Thnx again sir. |
