Building is 15 years old and i don't remember what is underneath. The only thing that i remember was that rainy water accumulated there all the time before constructing this house and had formed a shape of pond. That time i drained all the water out there and then DPC 4 feet beneath. Foundation was made strong. Another thing i remember is that there was a 4'X4' window which was later on removed from there.

Eh? Can you explain this? Are you saying that before you tiled the walls when it rained it formed a pond on the outside of the tiled wall 4 feet above the DPC?
If it is it's kind of obvious where the cracks come from.

No, I think he is saying that the house was built in the Lost City of Atlantis...

No it was not like that. The pond was there before the construction of house when it was plain ground. Level of the plot was deeper. I drained the water and then constructed the house and concrete beds were placed 4 feet deeper and over that DPC and then constructed the house over them. From your question i thought that there may be possibility of displacement of DPC due to soft and damp ground under the house.
