Our Services:Foundation Crack Repair

Not every crack is a foundation problem. We measure it, find out if the house is moving, and fix the cause along with the crack.

01

We'll tell you if it's cosmetic.

Most hairline cracks are normal for Texas concrete. If yours is one of them, we'll say so and show you how to keep an eye on it.

What causes foundation cracks in Spring, TX

Concrete shrinkage

Concrete shrinks as it cures, leaving hairline cracks that are usually harmless.

Clay shrink and swell

Spring clay moves with moisture, and the slab and brick crack where they are pulled unevenly.

Drought

Dry summers bring a wave of new cracks across Spring as clay contracts at slab edges.

Tree roots

Heavily treed neighborhoods like Champion Forest and Olde Oaks see more cracking as roots draw water from the soil.

Settlement

When part of the foundation drops, cracks open above it in drywall, brick and tile.

Brick and concrete expansion

Brick and concrete expand at different rates in heat, which can crack mortar and corners.

FAQs

How do I monitor a hairline crack?

Mark both ends with a pencil and date them. Growth past the marks is a reason to have it checked.

Why not just fill it?

If the foundation is moving, a filled crack will reopen. The movement has to be fixed first.

What size crack is a concern?

Cracks wider than 1/4 inch, with one side higher than the other, or that keep growing usually point to movement.

Are cracks in a new home normal?

Small shrinkage cracks are common in the first year or two. Wide or growing cracks are worth a look.
