Why Do Basement Foundation Wall Cracks Happen?

Concrete walls naturally shrink as they cure, but not all cracks are harmless. Common causes include:

  • Hydrostatic Pressure – Excess water in the soil pushes against your basement walls.

  • Settlement – Uneven settling of the foundation can cause vertical or stair-step cracks.

  • Temperature Fluctuations – Freeze-thaw cycles expand and contract concrete.

  • Poor Drainage – Improper grading or gutter systems lead to water pooling near the foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Foundation Wall Crack Repair

Q: How do I know if a crack is serious?
Hairline cracks are often harmless, but wide, horizontal, or leaking cracks should always be inspected by a professional.

Q: Can cracks be fixed from inside the basement?
Yes. Many cracks can be repaired from the interior using injection methods, eliminating costly exterior excavation.

Q: Will the crack come back after repair?
Properly repaired cracks sealed with epoxy or polyurethane are designed to be permanent fixes.

Q: How long does the repair process take?
Most crack repairs can be completed in a few hours, depending on size and number of cracks.

It depends on the cause. Insurance may cover sudden damage but not settlement or water intrusion. We can guide you through the process.
