Hi everyone
I rent a 100 year old terrace house. In the hallway there is a large arch with some big cracks through it. It's been like that (seems unchanged) for the last 6 months since I moved in, but I was looking closely at it and got me worried that the whole thing could fall at any time?? I'm not sure what it is made of, it is either rendered bricks or solid concrete.
Would this be built as solid as a rock and just a superficial crack, or does it warrant asking the agent/landlord to investigate? The only reason I ask is that I have small children, and they often run up and down the hallway and it got me worried that if this was not structurally sound, it could fall at any time and be disastrous. It looks like it has been repaired in the past (cosmetically).
There is plenty of cracks all through the place, but this one has just got me worried. Wanted to get some opinions?
