What Should You Do With Foundation Wall Cracks

At first sight, a crack in your foundation can be very daunting. Although it may seem like a huge issue, many times with early sightings the solution to your problems is easy and fast. So the first step in dealing with foundation wall cracks is calling in the experts. This is not something you have to or should do on your own, and with our warranted services and products calling Healthy Basement Systems to help just makes sense! 

Wall cracks can have different causes so it is not a one size fits all solution. Some cracks are normal due to the shrinking of concrete, but be sure to monitor them and make sure they don’t expand. Some cracks can be formed from foundation settlement issues. To solve this issue, we suggest foundation piers. Foundation Piers is a technique of driving steel pipe pilings to fix your foundation issues and correct foundation settlement. If expansive soil is what is causing your problems, you should look into wall anchoring systems. One anchoring system is the Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System, which uses earth anchors that are placed in your yard and are connected to a wall plate inside your basement.

You are not helpless to your foundation issues, everyone at Healthy Basement Systems is here to help you. Our team's expertise will quickly make your foundation fears fade away!
