What Causes Cracks on Basement and Foundation Walls?
- Soil Pressure – The expansive soils common in the Mid-Atlantic region can exert tremendous pressure on foundation walls. This pressure often results in bowing, buckling, leaning, and cracking in basement walls. Our advanced pier and beam systems provide robust support against soil pressure, effectively stabilizing your foundation.
- Humidity – Fluctuating humidity levels, particularly prevalent in our region’s climate, cause wood frames to expand and contract. In older homes, this continuous movement creates instability and wall cracking. Our moisture control solutions help maintain optimal humidity levels.
- Loose Plaster –Traditional plaster walls, common in historic Mid-Atlantic homes, lack the durability of modern drywall. As plaster ages, it separates from the underlying frame, leading to weakness and eventual cracking. Our concrete injection repair technology provides a lasting solution by filling voids and strengthening compromised areas.
- Settling and Shifting – Natural home settlement over time causes foundation movement, resulting in wall and floor cracks. Our underpinning services provide essential support to prevent further settling. We utilize advanced techniques, including helical piers and steel push piers, to stabilize and potentially lift settling foundations back to their original position.
