Foundation Cracks
We do not use scare tactics or commission-based sales approaches. You will always receive an honest explanation and practical recommendations based on real hands-on experience.
Foundation cracks can show up for several reasons, ranging from normal settling to moisture intrusion to deeper structural concerns. At Your Crawl Space Guys, we provide straightforward evaluations to determine what type of crack you are dealing with, why it happened, and whether it requires repair.
Common Types of Foundation Cracks
Not all cracks mean the same thing. During our inspection, we look at factors such as size, pattern, moisture presence, soil conditions, and structural impact. Some of the most common include:
Hairline Cracks
Often cosmetic and caused by normal settling. These usually require monitoring unless other symptoms are present.
Vertical Cracks
Typically due to settling or soil movement. Depending on severity, they may require sealing or reinforcement.
Horizontal Cracks
These can indicate pressure from soil or moisture buildup and may signal a structural concern.
Diagonal Cracks
Often caused by uneven settling or shifting support. These need a professional evaluation to determine the underlying issue.
What We Look For During an Inspection
When we evaluate foundation cracks, we consider:
- The direction and width of the crack
- Whether the crack is widening or spreading
- Moisture levels around the foundation
- Signs of soil movement
- Structural impact inside the home (doors, floors, walls)
Our goal is to identify whether the crack is harmless, needs repair soon, or indicates a deeper issue that should be addressed promptly.
Repair Options
Depending on what we find, repairs may include:
- Crack sealing and waterproofing
- Reinforcing weakened foundation areas
- We use a combination of epoxy, concrete patch repair, steel straps and carbon fiber repair methods!
- Correcting settling issues with leveling or structural adjustments
