There are several warning signs that should prompt a call to a professional for an inspection besides a bowed or cracked basement wall. The sooner a repair is made, the lower the repair expense is, and often carbon fiber reinforced polymer materials (CFRP), or other foundation wall crack repair methods of ours, can be used as opposed to more expensive and extensive methods, including excavation.
Indicates lateral pressure on the walls. Serious movement is evidenced in stair step and horizontal cracks in mortar joints.
Typically occurs within 30 days of the concrete curing process. Usually, a very simple repair, however, in combination with other signs could be a more serious sign of settlement.
Shifts in the foundation often cause other cosmetic damage inside the building. Drywall cracks around windows, door frames, and in corners are common symptoms of significant foundation movement.
Another typical indication of foundation shifting. Shifting could cause the framework to contort out of square, leading to windows and doors sticking or not opening and closing properly.
Cracks can be a symptom of foundation movement. Therefore, Refrain from cosmetic repairs until a professional foundation repair specialist determines the cause to minimize future expenditures and hassles.
Often, chimneys are built on independent footers. Therefore, cracking and leaning usually indicate movement in this particular footer. A more severe problem would be foundation movement disturbing this independent footer. A professional can determine the extent of the concern.
Most importantly, the most serious sign of settlement. The foundation sinks because it is separating from the building structure. This must be taken care of as soon as possible or may lead to wall collapse.

When groundwater saturation occurs in the freeze-thaw periods of winter, the ground expands, creating tremendous pressure on below ground portions of the foundation walls. This stress eventually fractures the wall.
According to the Home Inspection Census, more than 50% of all basement foundation walls have a good chance of cracking or bowing in the winters to come!
Bowed and cracked basement walls can be very serious signs of structural damage to the foundation. Traditional methods of addressing these issues include using wall anchors systems, steel I-beams, tiebacks, piering, and excavation.
Usually, bows, cracks, bulges, and buckling basement and foundation walls happen most frequently in more established structures. However, newer constructed buildings are not immune to quickly developing settling concerns. As soil settles outside the foundation walls at different rates, it expands and contracts with seasonal freezing and thawing processes because of hydrostatic pressure in the water table.
AA Basement Solutions Waterproofing also waterproofs and repairs crawl spaces. With crawl spaces being tight and damp by nature, it’s important to control and limit moisture & humidity from a building.
Increased levels of humidity and moisture in a crawl space can damage insulation, support beams, and can eventually support mold and mildew growth.
AA Basement Solutions can inspect your crawl space, spot key indicators, and help design a plan to get the crawl space into the condition that you want.
Dry crawl spaces have fewer bugs, less moisture, and fewer problems. Our crawl space encapsulation and repair methods are closed and secure and can help to make your home more energy efficient. Floods and standing water can cause problems, even in crawl spaces.
At AA Waterproofing, we waterproof basements the right way, and guarantee your dry basement for a lifetime!
