Brick wall tilting and dragging connected roof beams
Brick wall tilting and dragging connected roof beams
(OP)
Commercial building with brick wall on either side of shop front. roof is steel/timber construction with zinc panels.
Footings seemed to have sunk over time and now the wall appears to be tilting slightly at the top, causing cracking internally (refer picture) and appear to have caused leaks on the other side of the wall causing water to come in on the side through the roof.
Would permanent propping surfice for this? The pavement next to the tilting wall also seems to have sunk.
Not sure about the best way to rectify this, though it appears to be a demolish and rebuild possibly.

Interesting how I didn't see that! Concentrating on the wall view! Also old age. That shows something of not being distracted from the problem I guess. Right.
I probably commented on several such cases on rooms here. Let's see what the writer has to say about the area. As I recall the Canadian house problem, knowing where it was pretty much tells the probable reason.
