Fire place wall.
New Stonework
Castle Hill Village, Selwyn
Oamaru stone fire place wall has EQ cracks, and a loose stone. Wall is behind a wood burner and 2+meters high x 2m wide at that part. Concern is that mortar bond is visibly broken n places and resilience to further quakes is in question.
If wood burner is lit and wall falls it could cost the house. What is the EQ fix for this ? Take it down and rebuild?
