Are foundation walls load-bearing?

• <div><p>Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.</p></div>

Can you live with a cracked foundation?

• <div><p>Yes, you can live with a cracked foundation—in fact, most people do. Virtually all foundations crack from normal settlement, and while settling cracks benefit from sealing to prevent water and moisture intrusion, most aren’t an issue. If you have structural cracks in your foundation, it might be safe to live in your home for some time, but you should address them immediately to prevent structure collapse and major property damage. </p></div>

Q: When does water damage a foundation?

• <div><p>Water damage to a foundation often starts as a slow leak or water vapor problem that worsens over the course of months or even years. The speed at which foundation leaks worsen depends on a few factors, including your climate and location, the soil composition around your home, the foundation drainage system you have in place, if any, and the type of foundation you have. Even if you have a minor issue that&rsquo;s slow to develop, it&rsquo;s best to have a professional address the issue immediately.</p></div>

Q: How long does foundation sealant last?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to reseal the foundation <b>every five to 10 years, </b>depending on the sealant you&rsquo;ve used, the moisture conditions present in and around your home, and the condition of your foundation. Having a foundation inspection conducted before reapplication can help you catch any problems before you begin resealing. Of course, if you notice any new leaks or other moisture problems at any time, it may be necessary to reseal the foundation sooner.</p></div>

Q: Can you live with a cracked foundation?

• <div><p>Yes, you can live with a cracked foundation&mdash;in fact, most people do. Virtually all foundations crack from normal settlement, and while settling cracks benefit from sealing to prevent water and moisture intrusion, most aren&rsquo;t an issue. If you have structural cracks in your foundation, it might be safe to live in your home for some time, but you should address them immediately to prevent structure collapse and major property 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>
