Earthquake crack advice

[Jurghh]

This is a dividing wall between the hallway and a bedroom, it’s a single brick thick. The crack goes through to the other side of the wall. A builder who’s had a look at it seems to think it’s not a big deal. Today I cut into the wall to take a look at the brick underneath and the brick is also cracked on the upper half of the total crack. Any ideas for a suitable repair?

Pretty certain that's non-structural, your builder should advise the best filler, it will be cosmetic only.

 

It will be fine until the next quake

Our home back in Kefalonia has suffered several earthquake cracks. Where the crack passes through brick its best to cut back the render coat wire mesh over the crack and re-render. This will prevent hairline cracks reappearing along the crack line.

There is also an adhesive nylon/plastic fibre mesh, similar to adhesive tape that is probably designed for the same job which maybe even better than the wire mesh. I bought some by mistake when shopping for reenforced packing tape

Thanks for the replies guys. The builder, who is working on something else at my place, just replied pretty much saying the same thing. Cut back the render and apply the metal wire mesh. It’s a job I’d be comfortable doing myself. The builder said the most urgent one is an external wall that if it’s cracked right through could let moisture in. I’ll cut back the render on the crack and have a look how bad it is.
