Q: Is it normal for a block foundation to crack?

• <div><p>Yes, it is normal for a block foundation to crack. Some block foundation cracks are more serious than others and indicative of a larger structural problem. On the other hand, minor cracks may not be of immediate concern but should be monitored. Regardless, foundational cracks are not an uncommon response to wear on a structure from time and weather.</p></div>

Q: How else can I improve the look of my exposed foundation?

• <div><p>If your foundation is unfinished, has surface damage, or is just plain unappealing, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/foundation-refacing.htm">foundation refacing</a> can be another great way to increase your curb appeal and give your foundation a fresh look. Used in conjunction with foundation planting, refacing can completely change the look of your foundation and your home. </p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required for concrete installations?

• <div><p>Periodic sealing and cleaning to maintain appearance and integrity.</p></div>

Q: What is the best concrete crack sealer?

• <div><p>You have different options depending on the scale of repair needed. If you are repairing minor cracks that are between &frac14; inch to 1.5 inch wide and less than half an inch deep, a self-leveling polyurethane sealant would be your best choice. Polyurethane sealants dry to the touch within one to two hours. Since they come in a tube applier, you also have the option to complete the repair without emptying out your garage.</p></div>

Q: How do you seal a leaky concrete slab?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-seal-concrete.htm">seal a concrete slab</a> by cleaning the surface, filling in any cracks, etching the surface, applying a sealer, and letting it dry. Concrete slabs don't typically need sealing, but you can use a topical concrete sealer if you notice signs of water damage. If you haven't already fixed the cause of the leak, then you'll want to repair the plumbing before you seal a concrete slab.</p></div>
