What Causes Foundation Wall Cracks
Wall cracks, while straightforward, spring from a range of issues and have a variety of causes, which might involve:
- Foundation Settlement: Often, foundation settlement can cause wall cracks. Settlement can stem from initial construction on poorly compacted or unsuitable soils. These foundation issues usually appear as vertical or stair-step cracks, indicative of uneven settling.
- Hydrostatic Pressure: The soil surrounding your foundation can exert pressure on the walls when it becomes saturated with water. This hydrostatic pressure can push against the walls, causing them to crack, bow, or even shift inward, demanding immediate repairs like exterior waterproofing or drainage improvements for mitigation.
- Soil Movement: Soil movements below the foundation, such as expansion and contraction due to moisture variations or erosion, can destabilize the footing upon which your walls stand, leading to notable cracking.
- Improper Construction Techniques: The absence of appropriate construction techniques and materials can cause wall cracks. Weak or inappropriate materials or insufficient curing times during construction can cause weaknesses that create as wall cracks.
- Age and Natural Wear: With time, natural wear and the perpetual play of the elements can take a toll on your walls, instigating cracks.
