Terms before work begins
Homeowners usually call us after spotting a crack. The important question is not how wide it is, but whether the house has moved. A hairline shrinkage crack in a slab edge can be decades old and harmless. A stair-step crack through brick with a door that no longer latches is a very different conversation.
We evaluate cracks in context: where they are, what direction they run, whether they line up with doors and windows, and what the elevation readings say.
Reading the cracks in your home
Different cracks point to different causes.
- Hairline vertical cracks in a slab edge: usually concrete shrinkage from curing, not movement
- Diagonal drywall cracks from door and window corners: classic differential movement
- Stair-step cracks in brick veneer following mortar joints: perimeter settlement
- Horizontal cracks in a stem wall or block: pressure from soil, needs prompt evaluation
- Cracks that widen seasonally then close: active soil moisture cycling
- Cracks paired with sloping floors or sticking doors: structural, not cosmetic
Fixing the cause before the crack
Filling a crack that is still moving guarantees it comes back. When readings show real settlement, we stabilize the affected section first with piers, then address the visible damage. When readings are flat and the crack is cosmetic, we say so — and often the honest recommendation is a drainage correction plus monitoring, not a repair contract.
Repair options we use
For non-structural cracks in concrete we use epoxy or polyurethane injection to seal against moisture and keep reinforcing steel protected. Masonry cracks are tuckpointed and color-matched as closely as possible. Structural cracks get stabilization first, then sealing after the lift is complete and elevations are stable.
Questions homeowners ask
Foundation Crack Repair FAQs
It can. Stair-step cracks that widen as they rise, separated mortar at corners, or brick that is no longer plumb usually mean the perimeter has settled. Isolated mortar cracking without any interior symptoms is often cosmetic. Elevation readings settle the question.
