Hi all.

My house is on a slight slope and i noticed a slight gap at the bottom of the house at one end. I had some gaps in brickwork that I filled using a filler but this gap seems too narrow. Should I call a professional?

Photos attacked.

Thanks

I'm not one hundred percent certain where in the pic you are referring to. I'm assuming at the bottom of this pic where the brickwork is almost touching the ground. I circled a portion in green where I think you might be referring to.

Is your concern more aesthetic, or is it washing out during heavy rains? ... I'm assuming you have a basement; is that staying dry?

It's a clearer gap in the second photo but it's beside the drainage pipe in the left corner. I don't have a basement. My concern would be more for possible water damage to the house than aesthetics.
