Foundation Crack Repair

Foundation crack repair should start with understanding what the crack represents. Treating water entry or sealing a surface defect is different from correcting active structural movement.

When sealing may not be enough

If a crack is widening, displaced, accompanied by wall movement or part of a larger settlement pattern, the repair plan should address the underlying condition rather than the visible line alone.

Questions to ask

Ask whether the proposed work is intended to stop water, restore the crack itself, stabilize the structure, or accomplish more than one goal. Clear scope helps avoid confusion.
