Professional Tips:
Monitoring is best for small vertical cracks that do not threaten the structure of the home.
Horizontal cracks are more worrisome and require thorough evaluation & repair.
Our team will inspect the damage or cracks in your foundation while considering all key issues:
- Horizontal bulge/lean > 1.5”
- Lateral dislocation >1/4″
- Active movement in the foundation
- Spreading of cracks
- Past repairs or construction on the foundation
