Hi,
I have noticed horizontal cracking in concrete blockwork on a new build.
It's on a gable wall with no openings and is following the line of the bed joints. It's happening in a number of bed joints in the higher section of the gable.
I can't see any obvious reason for it. It's only in the outer skin, would it be shrinkage cracking or something else? Thanks.
