What Causes Wall Cracks?
Understanding the root cause of wall cracks is the first step in addressing them effectively. Here are some common culprits:
- Foundation Settling: Over time, the soil beneath your home shifts, causing the foundation to settle unevenly. This often leads to vertical or diagonal cracks.
- Water Damage: Poor drainage and moisture infiltration can weaken your walls and lead to cracks. Learn more about the impact of water damage.
- Poor Construction Materials: Substandard materials or construction errors can result in structural weaknesses.
- Temperature Changes: Expansion and contraction due to fluctuating temperatures can create small cracks, which grow over time.
Recognizing these causes early can prevent costly repairs later.
Signs Your Walls Need Support
Ignoring wall damage can lead to severe problems. Watch for these signs to determine if your walls need immediate attention:
- Bowing or leaning walls
- Large or widening cracks
- Uneven floors
- Gaps between walls, ceilings, or floors
If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to act. Schedule a free inspection with KCS Foundation & Waterproofing to assess your home’s condition.
