Types of Foundation Cracks
It’s critical to contact a foundation repair expert to address your concerns. We’ll help determine the type of foundation crack and the best possible solution. The types of foundation cracks include:
- Horizontal Cracks – Horizontal cracks are typically caused by heavy soil pressure. When soil pushes against your walls from the outside, they often bow and buckle.
- Vertical Cracks – Vertical cracks are caused by soil settling that adds pressure to a foundation wall and cause it to crack. These types of cracks lead to water leaks that damage your home.
- Stair Step Cracks – Stair step cracks often occur between blocks and mortar joints due to soil pressure and settlement. Stair step cracks often run throughout a wall in a stair step pattern.
Possible Causes of Cracks in Foundation Walls
If you notice a crack in your foundation wall, contact our experts for a free foundation inspection. The most common causes of cracks in foundation walls include:
- Soil Settling – When soil underneath a foundation wall washes away or is compressed, the wall often cracks vertically and settles.
- Shrinking Concrete – When foundation cracks are tiny and narrow, they’re often caused by shrinking concrete or mortar and won’t cause damage to the foundation’s structure.
- Soil Pressure – Soil sometimes puts pressure on a foundation wall, causing cracks and bowing.
- Construction Defects – Weak concrete or poorly built footings make foundation walls prone to cracking.
