Foundation Crack Repairs

Cracks in foundation walls typically result from the shrinking or swelling of the supporting clay beneath the footing, often appearing at the weakest points of the wall and not necessarily indicating the precise location of soil movement. The size, shape, position, and orientation of these cracks provide insights into the underlying issue and guide the appropriate repair approach. 

Since soil conditions can change, causing cracks to open or close over time, Seal-Rite recommends limiting crack fills to a depth of one inch unless using compressible materials, and generally advises against interior repairs to prevent trapping moisture, which could freeze and cause further damage. At Seal-Rite, we employ a variety of repair methods and materials, continually testing new solutions to ensure we recommend the most effective and cost-efficient options tailored to your specific needs.
