Floor Crack
If you notice a network of cracks on your home’s concrete floors, it’s not just an aesthetic concern—it could indicate underlying issues. These cracks can negatively affect your home’s structure and allow groundwater seepage, leading to rapid damage.
At Matvey Foundation Repair, we provide dependable service and effective solutions for foundation issues. Leveraging our expert knowledge, we assist homeowners in maintaining the safety of their homes’ foundations.
What Are Floor Cracks?
Floor cracks are breaks or gaps in your floor, which can be caused by various issues like uneven pressure and foundational problems. They often indicate further issues such as:
- Cracks in the foundation walls
- Foundation settling
- Gaps in the floor
- Cracks in the chimney
- Water in your basement
- Mold Growth
Not all floor cracks are serious but fixing them quickly can prevent water damage and further harm to your home.
Unearthing the Causes of Floor Cracks
Fixing floor cracks starts with finding the reason they happened. Our team is good at doing this through careful checking.
- Material Shrinkage: Materials like concrete can shrink when they dry and cause cracks. These cracks might not be a big problem, but they could let water in if they’re not fixed.
- Heavy Weight: Heavy things like bookcases or appliances can push too hard on the floor and cause cracks. It’s important to know how much weight your floor can hold to stop this from happening.
- Soil Movements: Changes in the soil under your house from weather or erosion can make the floor move and cause cracks.
- Soil Types: Some types of soil, especially clay, can get bigger and smaller with changes in moisture. This can cause floor cracks in houses built on this kind of soil.
Finding the main reason is an important part of figuring out the best way to fix the problem. You can trust Matvey Foundation Repair to come up with a solution that works for your house.
Can Floor Cracks Be Effectively Repaired?
Yes, we can fix floor cracks efficiently without needing to replace the entire floor. However, we strongly advise against DIY solutions that only cover the problem. Instead, trust professionals at Matvey to inspect and fix the issue for lasting results.
