I I live in a bungalow it was build mid 1960s. Only lived here since 2021 reported a crack across the kitchen back door. I kept reporting a leak from pipe in cupboard in house this cupboard is in hall way so other side of kitchen finally found leak in the cupboard wall the pipe goes all the way under my bathroom wet room floor that is where leak found it is now stopped. But the crack across kitchen back door has been getting wider now spread along gone under the skirting to kitchen pantry cupboard straight along the house wall then curved round and straight across pantry floor I can see a thick plastic sheet I believe is the damp proof membrane in the crack along house wall in pantry cupboard one end is curved round under floor can see like small stones behind but further along it has failed there is a 22cm drop before I hit any ground through the back wall crack the crack that curves across the pantry is only about 10cm deep. Is this the concrete slab that has cracked. What does this mean how do I fix it. All reported to landlord but they don't seem in a hurry to do anything
