Foundation Crack Repair

Foundation crack repair that reads the pattern of each crack, seals the ones that are stable and flags the ones that point to movement or water pressure.

Every foundation cracks a little. Concrete shrinks as it cures, soil swells and dries and houses settle in their first years. The question is which cracks are quiet and which are telling you something. Hairline vertical cracks, stair-step cracks in block, horizontal cracks and cracks wider at one end all mean different things. Homes around Nashville sit on clay that moves with the seasons, so a good look is worth more than a quick fill.

We walk the outside and inside of the foundation and record each crack with photos, width, length and direction. We check doors, windows, brick and drywall for matching signs and look for water, stains or mineral deposits. Stable cracks get cleaned, injected or sealed with a material that suits the wall. Cracks that appear to be moving get a gauge and a plan, which may include drainage, wall stabilization or a structural engineer. You receive a plain summary that says which cracks are minor, which to watch and which need action.

Questions

Foundation Crack Repair FAQ

Are foundation cracks always serious?

No. Many are minor, but width, direction, offset and moisture help us tell.

What is a stair-step crack?

A crack that follows mortar joints in block or brick, often tied to movement of the wall.

Will sealing fix a moving crack?

Not by itself. The cause has to be addressed too.

Can I watch a crack myself?

Yes. Mark the ends with a pencil and date it, and we can supply a gauge.

Do you work on slab foundations?

Yes, including exterior wall and slab edge cracks.
