Hello everyone,

During the backfilling of the exterior landscaping around my single-family house, damage was caused by the excavator. Can anyone tell me if this can be repaired without any major issues and, if so, how to properly carry out the repair?

The damage is about 6-7 cm (2.5-2.75 inches) deep and affects several bricks. We have 42.5 cm (17 inch) Poroton bricks.

Hello,

@Steven: you are causing unnecessary panic. The original poster mentioned 42 Poroton blocks in the first post. The missing areas are completely unproblematic. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be allowed to install window and door openings either. What major issues could occur there? Even if you removed three blocks, nothing would happen.

Just apply insulating mortar and that’s it.
