Foundation Crack Repair
Wall Crack Repair Services
Ram Jack is a foundation repair company offering a variety of Foundation
Repair services to homeowners and property owners. The signs of foundation
damage often start with cracks in your walls, cracks in brick, sloping
floors and more. There are many different types of foundation repair options
if foundation damage is discovered. However, not all wall cracks point
to foundation damage and Ram Jack offers a variety of wall crack repairs.
It is important to have your local Ram Jack foundation repair expert look
at your foundation walls and determine why the wall cracked, and how it
should be repaired.
A concrete block or poured foundation can crack for many reasons, including:
- Concrete dried too quickly causing shrinkage cracks
- Lateral forces pushing in on a foundation wall
- Expansive clay soil pushing against a foundation wall
- Soft, unsupported soils below the foundation
It is important to have our foundation repair consultants look at your
foundation walls and determine why the wall cracked, and how it should
be repaired.
Structural Foundation Cracks vs. Shrinkage
Many homeowners want foundation cracks repaired because, when it rains,
leaks can lead to water damage inside the home, in the crawlspace and
basement. However, while most foundation wall cracks are normal shrinkage
cracks that are non-structural, it is wise to have a foundation expert
look BEFORE repairing the cracks.
Our Ram Jack consultants are trained to diagnose simple shrinkage cracks
versus cracks that are part of a bigger structural problem in the home.
Our foundation repair consultant will perform an inspection of your crawlspace
or basement, your main level, and also the top floors of the house, looking
for signs of a structural problem. Sloping floors and window misalignment
is a sign that a foundation crack may be more than an aesthetic problem.
Types of Foundation Crack Repairs
Foundation wall cracks can be repaired in different ways. Polyurethane
Grouts can be injected into the crack to stop groundwater from leaking
in. Epoxy and carbon fiber strips can be used not only to stop a leaking
crack but also to add strength back to the wall.
