Repair cracks in wall

[peter_sweden]

Hi

I have a wall that has started to crack. How do I fix it?






Preferably something that doesn't need mixing (but maybe that's hoping for too much).

It's not just the plaster that's cracked but the entire wall; hoping to fix it by just smearing a little in the crack is too much to ask.

Ok, so what needs to be done? Maybe like this:
1. Dig out the soil
2. Use an angle grinder with a diamond disc and create an opening along the crack a few cm
3. Fill in with appropriate repair

After your quick fix, the newly repaired area or some new part will crack. Why is the wall cracking now? How does it look with gravel and ground fabric to reduce pressure and moisture, potential drainage? If I hadn't cared about the underlying causes, it would only have aesthetic value. Cutting up and trying to fillactror I'm not on.

Agree, something causes it to crack and hiding the crack only works for a little while if it is still moving.

They have done a lot of blasting nearby for water and sewage. Maybe that's the cause?

Do you think the wall will hold together, or will parts of it collapse?
