Professional Foundation Crack Repair

It's not unusual for cracks in your foundation to form within the first year of building. These often happen near windows, corners of walls, or floors. These are due to the foundation settling and really aren't anything to worry about.

However, if you notice cracks becoming bigger or allowing water to seep into them, it's time to call the professionals at The Driveway Company. Since your foundation is what supports your home, it is vital that the structure is stable. This is why it's essential to monitor any changes and whether cracks are increasing in size.

As always, the faster you fix minor problems, the more straightforward and affordable any repairs and maintenance will be.

Give us a call to keep your foundation and home safe and free of cracks and structure issues.

Types Of Foundation Cracks

Our Repair Process Includes

Vertical And Diagonal Cracks

These are ordinarily a sign of the concrete foundation settling. They are pretty standard in new construction projects and referred to as shrinkage cracks. The reason for shrinkage cracks is because concrete shrinks while it cures. You'll most often find them running vertically or diagonally in the middle section of walls and will be less than 1/8 in width.

Horizontal Cracks

These, unfortunately, show a more serious problem. Most often, they are caused by water pressure from the outside of the walls. And horizontal cracks can lead to a breakdown in the foundation. Although most foundations are built to manage this pressure, other severe weather conditions such as flooding can cause these cracks to form. They need to be repaired as soon as possible.

What Causes Foundation Cracks?

Shrinkage

Shrinkage cracks happen soon after a building has been completed. These hairline cracks are nothing to worry about and signify the concrete settling and curing.

Settlement

If the soil beneath the foundation is sinking or moving, you may get cracks in your foundation. Although this is common practice for new building projects, you may be in for a problem if the soil settles unevenly. And you'll find large cracks forming.

Extreme Weather

Of course, severe weather can also cause changes in your soil. Sometimes if the soil is too moist, it will shrink (in warm weather) or swell (in rainy weather). These soil expansion and contraction cycles put foundations under a lot of stress that can eventually lead to cracking.

Expansive Soils

If the soil around your foundation is prone to increase in volume, for example, with clay soils, you will find your foundation walls and floors under added pressure. This, too, could cause movement of your foundations, leading to further headaches.

“I am writing this letter to commend Skylar Spahn and Dan Peters for the excellent job they did on our driveway last Saturday, August 1, 2015.

They arrived promptly and were very personable and helpful! All my questions were answered completely and thoroughly. They went above and beyond what I expected. They were interrupted by rain and had to stop. They returned and finished the job as soon as the conditions permitted that day which I was very thankful for. I will recommend them and your company to my neighbors. Thank you.”

Tim and Donna Roth

“I’m so glad I saw the TV commercial for The Driveway Co. I had deep scoring cracks in my back patio and front walk and I thought if they went through another winter of freezing and thawing and freezing, they would require more work. And it looked like more work than I could or wanted to do to look right. They did a Great job. I’m very pleased with the work they did and would refer them to anyone who needs this type of work done. Well done and neat. I’m proud to show my patio and front walk.”

Phyllis Moffitt

“Thank you for a job well done! The crew that was here did a great job! Please be sure to tell them!”

Shar Boulward

“I had your company do some work on my steps and around my foundation. Your company truck pulled up and four gentlemen got out. They had a job to do. Each knew what to do and they went to work.

If I had any questions or concerns, Steve was there to answer them. It was a great crew. I cannot express enough how happy I am with the job that was done. My home is in one piece again. I wish I could have had the driveway done, but I understand about the black tar. Any visitors I have are surprised how good it looks. Again I thank you.”

P.S. Give the crew a raise. They were great!

Mary Ann Nowak

“I would rate this company A+. From the start they were responsive and answered any and all questions I had. I really appreciated the fact no one tried to “up sell” me or treat me like I didn’t know what I was talking about. When they came to caulk the cracks in my driveway, they were so wonderful. Had I not seen them here with my own eyes, I would never have known they had done work here; they were so quick, efficient and cleaned up everything! I have already told a friend that I think they are the company to go with. I am very glad I called them and am so thrilled with the results so far! Thank You!”

Theresa Houston

“The Driveway Company removed failed caulking and recaulked the drive and patio. Their estimator and workers were friendly and courteous. They did not treat me like an idiot because I am a female and do not know a lot about concrete. The job looks very neat and I have every confidence that the driveway is structurally stable and well done. I’m very pleased with the whole experience.”

Mary A. Blossom

“We heard very positive things about The Driveway Company and decided to opt for a driveway renovation. We are very pleased with the technical aspects of the renovation. The 2 guys that came were very skilled at their craft. They sawed some expansion (crack) joints in order to alleviate some of the problems with expansion and contraction at the frost line in order to facilitate the prevention of any moisture that would undermine the structure of the driveway. Then they sealed each crack and fissure, even the tiniest hairline cracks.

We were delightfully surprised at the extraordinary job that was skillfully accomplished by the Driveway techs. We could not be happier nor could we have found a better company to do our drive. Thank you The Driveway Company. We would highly recommend their professional workmanship.”

Gail and Denise Baccus

“The Driveway Co did an outstanding job on our new garage floor. The workers, Steve and Mike, were very professional and friendly. They took the time to explain the procedure and answered our questions. They also cleaned up the work area. Thanks!”
