Understanding Foundation Cracks.

Foundation wall cracks are more than just superficial details. While some settling is normal, wide cracks that seem to grow are not. Cracks in foundation walls can signal severe structural vulnerabilities, leading to leaks or even total wall collapse.

What Exactly Are Foundation Wall Cracks?

At Foundation Crack Repair LLC, we’ve built a reputation as Long Island’s most reliable foundation repair specialists. Let’s explore how we can help you deal with cracks in your foundation walls.

Foundation wall cracks appear on the concrete walls that support and provide stability to your home. From thin hairline cracks to broad openings, these cracks can hint at deeper foundation problems. The size, direction, and width of the crack tell a story about where the foundation issues are stemming from. Addressing them early with an inspection and tailored repair solutions can save homeowners from more severe issues in the future.

Why Do Foundation Wall Cracks Appear?

Soil Settlement

Movement or compression of soil underneath your home can cause the foundation to deviate vertically, resulting in cracks.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water flowing through cracks adds extra weight putting tension and pressure on foundation walls leading to cracks.

Expansive Soils

Soils expand or shrink with moisture levels, leading to lateral pressure on foundation walls.

Poor Drainage

Standing water near the foundation accelerates soil saturation and pressure, weakening walls and accelerating crack formation.

Is It Possible to Repair These Cracks?

Absolutely. Depending on the nature and extent of the damage, there are various effective methods to restore the foundation’s integrity. At Foundation Crack Repair LLC, we provide:

Helical Piles

Installed underneath the foundation and anchored to the foundation footing, piles transfer the weight of the home to stable soils. They stabilize existing foundations and elevate vulnerable areas.

Wall Anchors

Steel anchors are embedded into the foundation wall and extended into the undisturbed soil. They counteract the inward pressure causing cracks and bowing.

Carbon Fiber Reinforcement

Carbon fiber straps that are up to 10 times stronger than steel are applied to the wall's surface to strengthen concrete and prevent cracks from worsening.

Wall Repair System

Steel I-beams installed inside the wall providing reinforcement without excavating outside.
