Types of Foundation Cracks​

Many homeowners may think that all foundation cracks are the same and share one cause. But there is more than one type of foundation crack. 

Vertical Cracks

Large vertical cracks often occur due to soil settlement. When the soil settles, it puts extra pressure on the foundation wall. This leads to vertical cracking, allowing a significant amount of water to enter your home.

Horizontal Cracks

Having horizontal cracks appear in your foundation indicates heavily saturated soil pressure. This occurs because water-saturated soil exerts pressure against the wall from outside. These walls may begin to buckle and bow, eventually caving in. Horizontal cracks must be immediately repaired.

Stair Step Cracks

In response to soil pressure, a concrete block foundation wall may crack between the mortar joints of individual blocks. These cracks may run throughout the wall and resemble a stair-step pattern. This type of crack indicates a foundation problem that needs to be addressed.

The Importance of Foundation Leak Repair

Having good support for your home begins with the ground below. Cracks in the foundation lead to additional dangers if not corrected quickly. When left unaddressed, a minor break can escalate into something that needs substantial repair later.

If you’ve noticed a foundation crack or any other structural damage symptoms, it’s vital to get in touch with a local foundation repair specialist, like FCS Foundation and Concrete Specialists.
