Q: How can you tell if a crack is structural?

• <div><p>Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren&rsquo;t uneven across the gap, and don&rsquo;t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don&rsquo;t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.</p></div>

Q: Does a crack in the basement floor mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>Not all cracks in the basement floor signal foundation problems. As the house settles, you&rsquo;ll notice very thin hairline cracks, which you don&rsquo;t need to worry about. Cracks that are 1/8 inch or wider should require sealing, while ones that are 1/2 inch or wider require leveling. However, if you have <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-cracks-my-basement-floor-problem.htm">cracks in your basement floor with heaving</a>, you should call a pro to assess the situation. Heaving can lead to uneven flooring, structural issues, and foundation problems.</p></div>

Q: How much foundation sinking is too much?

• <div><p>Most houses are expected to settle over time, but foundation sinking of more than a few inches or uneven sinking of more than an inch for every 20 feet is cause for concern. Any significant or uneven sinking should be assessed by a professional to determine the cause and perform any necessary repairs. </p></div>

Q: What type of foundation repair is best?

• <div><p>The foundation repair that will work best varies based on the extent of the damage, the underlying cause, soil conditions, weather conditions, and more. Permanent foundation solutions like underpinning and exterior drainage solutions are better than temporary fixes that don&rsquo;t address the source of the issue. Some examples of more temporary solutions include <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-mudjacking-cost.htm">mudjacking</a> or slabjacking, waterproof paint, and dampproofing. The best course of action is to have a reliable foundation specialist inspect your issue, treat the underlying problem, and restabilize your foundation.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix spalling concrete steps?

• <div><p>If your concrete steps have crumbled or chipped, you can fix them by removing any chips or flakes, cleaning and wetting the affected area, applying a concrete bonding agent, and finally applying new concrete, usually in the form of Portland cement. For widespread damage, you can consider concrete resurfacing instead. For fixing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-spalling.htm">concrete spalling</a> that has led to deep damage, you might need to remove damaged material, add structural supports, and pour new concrete into a mold.</p></div>
