Cracks in poured concrete foundation walls are a fact of life.

They can be fixed !!

cracks are mostly caused by drying shrinkage and thermal movement and are the most frequent causes of cracking. In Ontario, Canada, the freeze-thaw cycle causes expansion of existing moisture, further causing cracking in existing vulnerable locations.

Drying shrinkage is caused by loss of moisture from cement paste constituent, which can shrink by as much as one percent. Cracks caused by structural settlement, overload or earthquakes. Most cracks form in the first 30 days after pouring and even the smallest undetected crack can, in time become larger and start a structural or leaking problem.

It's important to view the foundation wall from the inside for a proper assessment

Humid or damp conditions in your home encourage the growth of mold and dust mites. Mold can develop from poor ventilation, flooding and building leaks.

It is less expensive to have cracks repaired before the leak starts rather than after you finish your basement and then discover a leak. You can save your self thousands of dollars in the cost of replacing drywall, furniture, carpet, trim, etc. and of removing mold from your home.
