Living in Elgin IL or the Midwest in general, there are some extreme temperature changes between the seasons and if a foundation is poured incorrectly or is not maintained properly it is at risk of cracking. Foundation crack repairs are necessary when the walls are cracking vertically or horizontally. From a hairline crack or a large broken section, Premium Waterproofing can take care of most foundation crack repairs in Elgin and all over IL.

The easiest way to know the foundation needs foundation crack repairs is the presence of moisture (water) along or seeping through the crack.

If your foundation crack is less than 1/4-inch wide it will only require an easy foundation crack repair. Most foundation crack repairs occurring in the Elgin area are normal from the concrete curing over time and may not require any structural foundation crack repair at all, only cosmetic repairs.

If there is water seeping through any crack of ANY size, that is when you need to consider making foundation crack repairs. Smaller cracks and surface damage can be remedied cosmetically. Due to the weather in Elgin, you are going to have foundation crack repair concerns, be sure to have any crack that concerns you checked by a professional before you disregard it as not a hazard. A foundation crack although looks small, is still a crack.

For foundation cracks larger than 1/4-inch wide in Elgin, it is recommended that you speak to one of Premium Waterproofing’s licensed foundation crack repair contractors to assess the damage and get suggestions for your best foundation crack repair option. Since your Elgin home sits on the foundation, if the foundation is heavily damaged, the structure is at risk of failing and that is easily prevented by being observant and take care of your foundation with maintenance and preventative treatments.

The easiest way in Elgin to prevent foundation crack repairs is stop the damage from happening. If you notice water running towards the house or pooling along the walls or corners of the structure, there is a possibility that the foundation area beneath the soil outside the Elgin property is being affected. Saturated soil from rain or melting ice should drain away from the foundation, not downwards into the foundation. A simple foundation crack repair avoidance fix is regrading the soil away from the foundation so water can’t saturate the concrete and cause foundation cracks and damage.

Water damage is the most common cause of foundation crack repairs in Elgin but there are other foundation issues that can be less visible and just or more damaging. Bowed foundation walls can cause cracks in the concrete but just as much cave in altogether. Avoid having a huge foundation crack repair by inspecting your walls as the seasons change and after heavy precipitation. Preventing problems is always better but know that repairing foundation cracks and bows is our specialty and it’s affordable.
