A strong and stable foundation is the bedrock of any secure and comfortable home. However, over time, various factors such as soil settlement, moisture infiltration, and natural wear and tear can lead to the development of cracks in your foundation. These cracks are not just unsightly; they can compromise the structural integrity of your property, potentially leading to more significant issues if left unaddressed.

At Chicago Foundation Repair Pros, we understand the unique challenges that homeowners in the Chicago area face due to the city's diverse soil types and climate conditions. Our mission is to provide you with the knowledge and services you need to effectively identify, assess, and address foundational cracks to ensure the safety and longevity of your home.

Foundational cracks don’t just come in one form, there are many different types of cracks – and each of them says something different about your property’s foundation and what it’s experiencing. It should be noted that while it might look disturbing, not all cracks necessarily suggest that there’s a problem going on. Vertical and diagonal foundation cracks are common in new builds due to settling, but when they’re thicker and in certain positions, it could indicate that there’s an issue. Horizontal cracks often suggest there’s a more serious concern. There are no definite conclusions to be drawn without an inspection from a certified professional, of course.

Cracks don’t just appear in your foundation for no reason – there’s always an underlying cause. At Chicago Foundation Repair Pros, we’ve come across a whole slew of reasons for the formation of cracks in foundations, so nothing will surprise us. Some are the result of hydrostatic pressure, which is where water builds up around the perimeter of your foundation. Others are created because of foundation settlement, which happens because the soil underneath the foundation shrinks due to lack of moisture. A little settling is normal, but extensive settling could indicate a big problem.

 It goes without saying that foundational cracks are much easier to resolve the earlier you discover them – if they have time to develop, the repairs that are necessary become much greater. You could benefit from regular inspections to your property, as this will eliminate the possibility that you’ll be taken by surprise. If small cracks appear, keeping track of their size and direction will help you to determine whether more substantial intervention is necessary. Foundation crack repair procedures can be disruptive for your property, so it makes sense to take preventative action.

When it comes to your home, you can never be too careful. This is the single most important location in your world, and the possibility of an unstable foundation indicates a major threat to it – so it’s no time to skimp on finding a qualified professional. We have a proven track record that demonstrates we’re capable of handling any situation you might be experiencing, so don’t hesitate – give us a call and let us assist you.
