I got a slab poured for a hotel courtyard and cracks showed up immediately. GC is saying that there is nothing the sub could have done to avoid the cracks. Is that true?

Hello!

I’m in South Texas. Last year I installed a drip irrigation setup I bought from Lowe's. I created a service strip separate the watering area away from my foundation.

I originally had landscaping weed barrier fabric and mulch right up to the foundation of the house and was watering my plants with a soaker hose. I pulled all that up and this is what we have now.

—-My question is: Do these photos show signs of damage to my foundation caused by my irrigation set up?

Bonus: what can I use to fill in this hole a critter has dug? Can I fill it using my clay dirt?

Thanks!
