Hi all,

need some advice here, unfortunately we've bought a house which has a river situated behind of our house, so when we inspect the house, we found out there are cracks all along the side and back of the house, complained to developer d and they come and seal it off, but i'm still worried, later stay inside suddenly collapse

so if i pile up/cover the whole sideway with concrete about 3-4 inches height will it be a solution to prevent further cracks? or is there any other recommendation/suggestion?

appreciates for comments.

thank you
