PROBLEMS
SAGGING FLOORS
Your floors may be sagging because of withered floor joists—this added pressure creates cracks within your foundation. We utilize floor supports to help reintroduce strength and stability to your home.
CRACKS IN THE BASEMENT WALL
Cracks within your wall will grow and expand. If you are proactive, we can come out and design a solution to fit your specific needs.
SINKING AND SETTLING FOUNDATION
When a foundation is sinking it can cause all sorts of issues from doors and windows not closing to warped floors and many other issues. Thankfully, our foundation specialists have lots of experience repairing these issues.
WHAT CAUSES BASEMENT WALL CRACKS?
Cracks in your basement walls aren’t just an eyesore – they can be a sign of deeper structural issues. At Basement Improvements, LLC, we help homeowners understand what’s behind these cracks and offer long-lasting solutions.
SOIL PRESSURE
When soil around your foundation becomes saturated with water, it expands and puts pressure on your basement walls. Over time, this hydrostatic pressure can push inward on the walls, leading to cracks, bowing, or even structural failure.
Humidity and Moisture
High humidity can cause wooden framing, joists, and beams, especially in older homes, to absorb moisture and warp. This weakens your home’s internal support and creates stress that may crack basement walls.
Settling and Shifting Foundations
It’s normal for homes to settle over time, but uneven settling or shifting due to poor soil conditions or improper drainage can lead to foundation stress. That stress often shows up as stair-step cracks or hairline fractures in your walls.
Poor Drainage or Waterproofing
If water isn’t being properly diverted away from your foundation, it can build up along the base of your home, increasing soil saturation and leading to structural cracks.
