FAQs
Foundation cracks can occur due to various factors, including soil settling, concrete curing and shrinkage, water pressure, and temperature fluctuations. As concrete dries and contracts over time, hairline cracks may develop in foundation walls and basement floors.
While hairline cracks are common, cracks wider than 1/8 inch or horizontal cracks may indicate structural issues. Consult a structural engineer if you’re concerned about the severity of foundation wall cracks.
For non-structural cracks, injecting polyurethane foam or epoxy is an effective repair technique. This method stops water leaks and creates a flexible bond that can withstand future foundation movement.
Professional foundation crack repair often involves drilling and injecting materials like polyurethane foam. While DIY kits are available, it’s usually best to have cracks professionally repaired to ensure proper technique and long-lasting results.
Yes, many foundation cracks can be repaired from inside the basement. This is often preferable as it doesn’t require excavation or disturbing landscaping outside the home.
Polyurethane foam is injected into the crack, where it expands to fill the void and push out any water. It then cures to form a watertight, flexible seal that can accommodate future foundation movement.
In most cases, properly repairing foundation cracks will stop water leaks. However, addressing the underlying cause of water pressure against the foundation (like poor drainage) is also important for long-term prevention.
Yes, sealing foundation cracks can be part of a radon mitigation strategy, as it helps prevent radon gas from entering the home through cracks in the foundation.
The length of time for repair depends on the crack’s size and location. Many repairs can be completed in a single day, with the injected material curing within 24-48 hours.
Not all cracks require immediate repair, but it’s wise to have them assessed. Even small cracks can allow water seepage, potentially leading to more significant issues over time.
Proper drainage around your home’s foundation, maintaining consistent soil moisture, and addressing any settling issues promptly can help prevent foundation cracks.
Yes, addressing foundation cracks early can prevent more extensive and costly damage to your home’s structure and interior. It can also improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality by reducing moisture intrusion.
