Causes of basement floor & wall cracks
There are a lot of reasons you have cracks in your basement walls or floors, including:
- Moisture intrusion due to poor drainage, hydrostatic pressure, and freeze-thaw cycles.
- Structural problems due to concrete shrinking, foundation settlement, and structural movement.
- Growing tree roots apply pressure to your home's foundation and cause cracks.
- Poor construction — including poorly compacted soil or poorly mixed concrete — increases the odds of cracking.
- Large loads, such as heavy equipment or storage, lead to stress fractures and cracks.
Basement wall crack questions & answers
When should I worry about basement cracks?
There are many reasons why your basement floors and walls may crack. Cracks in your basement floor can cause panic, but luckily, most cracks in concrete basement floors are normal and do not require repair. On the other hand, certain cracks in basement floors can allow water, moisture, and dangerous soil gasses to leak into your basement. Small, hairline cracks and spalling or flaking cracks do not require repair. However, uneven floors and cracks with heaving require repair.
For the most part, basement wall cracks are no big deal. But when cracks in your basement walls are wider than 1/8 inch, horizontal, stair-step, or growing larger, it's time to call a professional. Another cause for concern is if you notice water or musty odors seeping through the cracks.
How much does it cost to fix basement wall cracks?
The cost to fix basement wall cracks depends on your geographical location, the size of the crack, the type of crack, and whether the repair involves structural work.
According to Homeguide, basement wall crack repair costs anywhere from $250 to $800+ per crack for non-structural, minor repairs. For bigger, horizontal cracks, and cracks that are due to a structual issue, costs can range from $1,000 to $5,000+ per crack.
Does insurance cover cracked basement walls?
Coverage is typically based on the cause of your basement wall crack, which means that homeowners can be responsible for the cost of repairs.
It is important to view your own policy or contact your insurance company to determine whether basement wall crack repairs will be covered.
Don't hesitate to call Redeemers Structural Solutions to fix cracks in your basement walls.
