Extended wet weather is hard on block basement walls. Not only will water try to find a way into your basement, but excessive moisture content in the soil causes the soil to expand and will often cause the walls to crack and bow. These are two separate problems. If finances are tight and both issues cannot be addressed, we recommend addressing the structural repair first. Continued movement of the wall becomes more expensive to repair if allowed to progress. The best product to stabilize the affected walls so there is no further cracking, bowing or movement is with Fortress carbon fiber grid straps.
Before researching the various methods to repair cracked basement walls, we need to determine whether the cracks are due to vertical settlement or lateral hydrostatic pressure. Not all situations are obvious and clear-cut, but here are some general guidelines for cement block walls. Hydrostatic pressure usually causes horizontal cracking along the entire wall, often with stairstep cracking at the corners and possibly the on the adjacent walls. Vertical cracking from floor to ceiling, especially on two adjacent walls, is usually indicative of a settlement problem.
Expert Basement Repair can provide a thorough site, basement, and foundation inspection to help identify and explain problems. After our inspection, we will answer your questions and suggest a course of action. Should structural repair be required, we will provide a quote from our company detailing that portion of the repair and the cost. A written proposal containing the recommended repair method, products, and any related drawings would usually be provided within 1 or 2 days of our inspection.
