our house and garage are now 10 years old.
The cracks appeared earlier, but due to the builder’s bankruptcy, I no longer have a contact person for this issue.
The garage is very damp, especially during the colder months, even though we ventilate it regularly (daily) and use a squeegee to sweep rainwater from the cars out of the garage.
The horizontal crack likely goes deep into the masonry, allowing water to find its way inside.
It is noticeable that the crack appears where the cast concrete garage ceiling rests on the masonry blocks.
Above the garage ceiling, there is a parapet wall, so there is still a block placed on the cast ceiling at the top.
What could be a practical solution here? Simply replastering probably won’t last long...
The repair will be carried out later by a professional, but before I discuss it on-site, I would like to have some preliminary knowledge.
Thanks and good luck
Daniel
