Why Cracks Happen
Living in New England means experiencing a wide range of temperatures throughout the year, and while the scenery changes beautifully, your foundation can take a hit. The extreme thermal cycling and shifting external conditions can lead to cracks in your concrete foundation walls.
In many cases, these are normal settling cracks that appear within the first two years of a new foundation. However, as the seasons change, uneven pressure around your foundation can cause hairline fractures to grow. Over time, these small cracks widen, allowing moisture to seep in. This can lead to serious issues such as mold growth and property damage.
Are you noticing damage or moisture intrusion?
When to Take Action
Hairline cracks spreading or widening over time
Signs of water intrusion, such as dampness or mold
Visible structural changes, like bowing or shifting walls
Cracks that continue to grow may indicate a deeper structural problem. Ignoring them could compromise your home's safety and value.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
It depends. Some normal settling cracks, if they are confirmed not to be getting worse or to be allowing moisture intrusion, can safely be left as they are. You might be surprised how many calls we get where we advise people that they likely don’t need to do anything at all.
In certain other situations, a DIY approach may be sufficient, and save you hundreds of dollars or more. We are happy to let you know if that’s the case as well.
And when a more robust solution is needed, ours come guaranteed for life.

Yes! Many people who call us wonder if they need to wait until Spring to get a repair done, and quite the opposite is true — if you’ve got active leaking, the best time to do a repair is as soon as possible.
All of our materials and process work equally well during throughout the year.
-
Most likely not! The vast majority are simple settling cracks that pose no structural risk to your home or business.
Watch for these red flags:
Severe diagonal or horizontal cracks
Cracks that widen over time
Cracks wider than 1/4 of an inch
One side of the crack being further forward than the other (you can feel this when running your hand over the crack)
If you notice any of these signs, it’s possible your foundation’s structural integrity has been compromised.
