Foundation Cracks
Water infiltration in a house
A crack in the foundation is the most common cause of water infiltration in a house. Once water seeps into your basement, it damages your finishes, creates ambient humidity, and fosters an environment conducive to the growth of bacteria and mold, which can be extremely hazardous to your health.
A crack in your home’s foundation may be a warning sign of a more serious problem that can worsen rapidly. That’s why it is crucial to identify the cause of the crack and address it as soon as possible. Without proper intervention, what could have been a minor repair may turn into a very costly and complex operation.
Possible causes
- Ground settlement
- Foundation uplift caused by frost heave
- Insufficient heating
- Defective concrete or concrete contaminated by pyrite
- Concrete shrinkage during drying
