Common Causes of Foundation Cracks
Common Causes of Foundation Cracks
Curing Concrete
As concrete cures, small “hairline” cracks, known as shrinkage cracks, are common. These cracks are usually less than 1/16″ wide and occur near the center of a span. While they are typically not a sign of major issues, it’s essential to monitor them. If cracks widen beyond a dime’s width or become uneven, contact us for a consultation. The Concrete Network provides more details on curing and shrinkage cracks.
Foundation Settlement
Foundation settlement occurs when the soil beneath your home can’t support its weight, causing uneven settling and cracks. These cracks often appear wider at the top or bottom and indicate serious issues. Settlement cracks worsen over time and require prompt professional attention.
Expansive Soils
Even minor cracks in foundation walls can become problematic if they allow water to enter your basement or crawl space. Water intrusion through cracks can lead to significant structural and health issues. Our team specializes in repairing these leaks to ensure your foundation remains dry and safe.
