Hi @pemba 

I would definitely contact a local civil engineer to have a look as thats a very deep hole runnings along the length of the sideway. It's more than just a result of a standard water leak.

Hi @Nailbag 

Thank you for your advice. I'm pretty new to the Greenwith area,but would enquire around for a civil engineer.

Thanks 🙏

Hi @pemba,

Looking at the last two photos I am going to stick my neck out and say I know what the problem is.

Your house is on a clay base which is drying out causing the soil to come away from the foundations.

You will need someone like a structural engineer to access the situation and provide a report.

I have just enquired with an engineering firm for an onsite consultation with structural engineer regarding the gap. I'm waiting for an quote and will take it from there. Thank you all for advice.

Thank you

Please can you give me a rough estimated cost i should expect for onsite structural engineer consultation cost.

I would highly appreciate.

Thank you

Hi @pemba,

I'll answer for @EricL and @MitchellMc as they are not online, but I know what their response would be.

Unfortunately, this is not something we could provide because the going rate for a structural engineering report is not the same everywhere, and there are simply too many variables.

You could be looking at anywhere from $300 to $3000. The only way you can really know for sure is to contact structural engineering firms that operate near you and ask them to quote.

Let me know if there is anything else I can assist with.
