Foundation Cracks Repair

What causes foundation cracks?

Foundation cracks may be caused due to several factors, therefore determining the cause is not always so obvious. However, knowing the causes may help you prevent foundation cracks from occurring. 

• Settlement - Foundations can crack due to settlement or movement. This is often due to a sinking or shifting of the soil beneath the foundation. All foundations settle with time, but little damage is done if the foundation settles completely and uniformly.
• Extreme weather - extreme weather conditions lead to variations in soil moisture, causing the soil surrounding the foundation walls to shrink or swell.different seasons have a different effect on the solid. For example, in the summer, the soil shrinks whereas in the winter, the solid expands.
• Shrinkage - oftentimes, shrinkage occurs as soon as a house is built. That is normal and should not worry you too much.

How Can The Cracks Be Fixed?

There are several different methods to fix cracked foundations. The easiest and most effective way to repair a wall crack is by injecting an epoxy or polyurethane sealant into the crack which will permanently seal it and stop the flow of water from the outside. Of course, this type of job should be performed by expert professionals in order to ensure proper work is done.
