How to fix cracking granny flat foundation?

1000018631.jpg

Hi, I noticed indentations like this below the outer wall of a granny flat. I was wondering if I should be concerned. If I were to fill it, would something like this work? https://www.bunnings.com.au/dingo-fast-set-mortar-3kg_p0760518?store=7216&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&...

Re: Indentation below wall of granny flat

Hello @yixie 

 

Yes, the Dingo Fast Set Mortar - 3kg will work nicely on this bit of indentation. My best advice is to clean the inside as best as possible before patching it with mortar. An additional tip is to mix only what you need and keep the extra mortar in a tight resealable bag.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @EricL 

Thanks for the reply. Do you think the repair is urgent?

Hello @yixie 

 

It is not an urgent repair situation. However, you don't want to leave it too long either as water may settle in the hole and you begin to develop a mould and mildew infestation. This would then add onto your to do list.
