There is a good chance that your basement walls are constructed of poured concrete. One of the largest issues with poured concrete is that it shrinks and expands as it cures which can ultimately lead to cracks.

That problem is usually bowing basement walls or even a sinking or settling foundation. Once we have repaired the cause of your wall cracks, it is time to repair the cracks themselves so you don't have noticeable damage to your home.
