Foundation Cracks: What Homeowners Should Know
Not every crack means foundation failure. Learn what characteristics are useful when deciding what to do next.
Speak by phone about your property and service availability.
Clear information. Property-specific evaluation. Practical next steps.
Crack location matters
Cracks in slabs, walls, finishes and masonry occur in different materials and can have different implications.
Pattern matters
Direction, displacement, width and whether the crack crosses multiple materials can provide useful context.
Change over time matters
A crack that is actively changing generally deserves more attention than one that has remained unchanged for a long period.
Avoid instant diagnosis
Photos on the internet cannot reliably determine the cause of a crack at your property. An on-site assessment is more useful when structural movement is a concern.
Prepare for an evaluation
Note when you first noticed the crack, whether it has changed, and whether nearby floors, doors or windows have changed too.
