Foundation Walls Can Be Extremely Complicated–
Not only do they have to withstand the weight of the structure they hold up, they must be resistant to water, freeze-thaw cycles, and pressure from the surrounding ground.
Even the best design can eventually have complications due to wear and tear as well as environmental factors.
Block concrete foundations that develop cracks allow water into the basement or under floorboards, and if not repaired quickly, may no longer be able to support the weight of your structure (not to mention, a wet basement means you will soon need mold removal)!
Timely Repair Is Critical!
A damaged foundation could lead to your house sinking to one side or even collapsing entirely.
Unless the material used fills the crack completely, including any cracks below the floor or ground level, the repair will only be temporarily solution.
The only material that will completely seal a crack in a concrete foundation wall is epoxy.
But Aren’t Block Concrete Foundation Repairs Costly?
The short answer is yes- repairs vary in price depending on what needs to be done, but concrete block repairs are essential for your safety and must not be neglected.
If you think things won’t get any worse from a few cracks in your foundation, you’re wrong.
Block concrete foundation repair isn’t complicated, but does require a lot of work.
If you just consider price in determining which contractors to use, you will most likely be disappointed and need future repairs.
Cracked portions may be sealed with epoxy, but broken areas are usually removed and replaced with new concrete blocks.
New concrete must be poured carefully and properly sealed to make sure it is resistant to water.
Block concrete foundations are extremely durable.
It’s generally not common to have to replace blocks, since they are less prone to damage than poured walls.
If you have contractors you trust, the repairs (if done properly) should only have to be done once in the lifespan of your home.
