Apple Creek, Ohio Foundation Cracks

The foundation of your home is important to upkeep. Everything literally rests, or sits, on it for support. Checking it regularly for problems is important. But what happens when you discover a crack? Or multiple cracks? Catching the problem early will save you a lot of time, money, and stress. But what do you do? 

Don’t Repair Cracks Yourself

We understand wanting to save yourself money and time, but repairing your foundation is not a DIY project. These kinds of cracks require different methods and materials, some not available to the average consumer in a hardware store. It also requires knowledge on foundation repair to do it, something that can take years to master and not something you can learn from talking to a hardware employee or watching a video on the Internet. 

Take Note of The Type of Crack

If it’s a wall crack, they can be vertical, horizontal, stair step, and diagonal cracks. Wall cracks can indicate a problem with support beams, pressure on the outside of the wall, and so on. If there are floor cracks, they can indicate movement in the foundation. Soil shrinking, settling or poor competition could be a reason why the floor cracks.
