What Causes Wall Cacks In Your Basement?
Wall cracks can occur in both poured concrete and concrete block foundations. They may present themselves differently based on the material, but the same set of factors causes basements wall cracks.
Both types of wall cracks are caused by hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure refers to the pressure caused by a buildup of water in the soil around your foundation walls. This pressure pushes inwards causing wall cracks, bowed walls, and leaks in your basement.
Poured Concrete Wall Cracks
Cracks in poured concrete walls are usually diagonal, extending from the bottom corners of the wall toward the center. They can originate around basement windows and often will leak water into your basement.
Block Foundation Wall Cracks
Cracks in block foundations typically occur along the joint lines between the concrete blocks. They most often show up near the mid-point of the walls and “stair-step” up the wall cracking at the corners.

Epoxy Crack Injection
Epoxy crack injection is a cost-effective and reliable way to seal foundation cracks. The process completely fills wall cracks from top to bottom. Its flexible nature allows for natural expansion to occur while also completely sealing the crack. This method of wall crack repair is completely waterproof and won't degrade over time.
Carbon Fiber Crack Repair
Carbon fiber wall crack repair is one of the newest ways to seal and prevent spreading in foundation cracks. This system uses a carbon fiber straps attached to the wall with epoxy. Once the epoxy hardens the carbon fiber seals the crack and because it is impossible to stretch keeps further cracks and bowing from occuring.
