Seal Foundation Wall Cracks with Crack Injection
If you’ve noticed cracks in your foundation walls, along your stairs, in your patio area, or anywhere else around the perimeter of your home, a solution you may want to consider is a Crack Injection.
Crack Injection is a two-part process using epoxy on the exterior portion of a wall crack and high-density foam on the interior portion of the crack in the wall. This two-pronged approach seals cracks to keep water out.
Epoxy crack injection is an economical method of repairing non-moving cracks in concrete walls, slabs, columns, and piers and can restore the concrete to its pre-cracked strength.
Why Addressing Foundation Cracks Is Important
Wall cracks are more than just an eyesore; they can be signs of serious foundational issues. Getting them the repairs they need will not only make your walls look better but also prevent further damage to your home. DIY fixes won’t cut it and ignoring foundation problems only allows for more damage.
What Causes Foundation Cracks
- Foundation Settlement: Often, foundation settlement can cause wall cracks. Settlement can stem from initial construction on poorly compacted or unsuitable soils. These foundation issues usually appear as vertical or stair-step cracks, indicative of uneven settling.
- Hydrostatic Pressure: The soil surrounding your foundation can exert pressure on the walls when it becomes saturated with water. This hydrostatic pressure can push against the walls, causing them to crack, bow, or even shift inward, demanding immediate repairs like exterior waterproofing or drainage improvements for mitigation.
- Soil Movement: Soil movements below the foundation, such as expansion and contraction due to moisture variations or erosion, can destabilize the footing upon which your walls stand, leading to notable cracking.
- Improper Construction Techniques: The absence of appropriate construction techniques and materials can cause wall cracks. Weak or inappropriate materials or insufficient curing times during construction can cause weaknesses that create as wall cracks.
- Age and Natural Wear: With time, natural wear and the perpetual play of the elements can take a toll on your walls, instigating cracks.
