How to prevent a quick shrinkage of buildings and active growth of cracks in the foundation
In cases where there is an intense growth of crack and fast shrinkage of the house due to soil leaching, you need to take a number of urgent measures in order to stop this process. Most often, a concrete or cement-sand mixture is pumped into the resulting voids around the foundation, which is enough to solve the problem. To do this, in certain places, wells are drilled and under pressure is pumped in them a solution.
Such work can be done with your own hands. But in this case, you will have to excavate the foundation around its entire perimeter, and not just in problem areas. After the soil is chosen to a sufficient depth, it is filled with concrete or wall blocks. Brick masonry is also often used.
