Not All Foundation Cracks Are The Same
Depending on the size, direction, and severity of your foundation crack, it may be a normal effect of the foundation settling. That being said, it never hurts to get it checked out.
When Should I Call a Foundation Expert?
You should call an expert If you find one or more of the following:
-
Horizontal/ Diagonal Cracks
-
A Growing Crack
-
A Crack Allowing Water through
-
Interior Wall Cracks
-
Noticeable Dips in the Floor
-

Tell-Tale Signs of a Foundation Crack

Remember, a majority of the time a leak is not in the same area as the damage you are seeing. Hiring a professional foundation repair contractor with the right tools is the only way to accurately determine the source of the problem.
