Foundation cracks may seem harmless at first, but they are often a sign of a much deeper problem.


Foundation Crack Repair

Whether it's a small vertical crack or a larger opening, it's essential not to ignore them. Prompt intervention can protect your home's structure, prevent water infiltration, and head off major repair costs.

 

What are the common causes of foundation cracks?

 

Cracks can appear as a result of:

– Ground movements caused by freezing and thawing

– Subsidence or settling of the ground under the foundation

– Poor drainage around the house

– Aging of materials or construction errors

– Excessive hydrostatic pressure due to a blocked French drain

 

What are the risks of an unrepaired crack?

 

A simple crack can quickly develop into serious structural problems. Water seeps into the foundation walls, leading to:– Mold in the basement– Degradation of materials (concrete, gypsum, wood)– Decreased insulation– Bad odors and deterioration of indoor air quality– Loss of property value on the real estate market
