It's not uncommon for a foundation to have minor cracks. However, the size and number of cracks should be considered. Cracks larger than 1/8th of an inch or that span a large surface should be inspected by a foundation repair expert. In addition, foundation cracks that grow as time goes on indicate the foundation may be giving way under pressure, which could become a serious foundation problem.

Our experts will conduct a thorough assessment of your basement, looking at factors like moisture levels, foundation type, and existing water damage. With a clearer picture of your home and basement’s unique needs, we can recommend the most effective basement waterproofing strategy.

However, larger projects can take longer, especially when the area around the foundation needs to be excavated. Our foundation experts will communicate the estimated time of completion before the project begins. If any issues that impact the timeline arise while the project is underway, our team will keep you updated.
