Foundation cracks are one of the most common foundation problems homeowners face in Amarillo and throughout the Texas Panhandle. While not all foundation cracks are cause for alarm, many indicate serious structural issues that will worsen over time if left unaddressed. Understanding the difference between minor cosmetic cracks and serious structural cracks is crucial for protecting your home.
The expansive clay soil in our region is a primary cause of foundation cracking. As the soil swells during wet periods and shrinks during drought, it creates stress on your foundation. This constant movement causes cracks to form and expand over time. Other factors like poor drainage, plumbing leaks, tree roots, and settling can also contribute to foundation cracking.
Our foundation crack repair services address both the visible cracks and their underlying causes. We use professional-grade materials and proven repair methods to seal cracks, prevent water infiltration, and restore structural integrity to your foundation.
Types of Foundation Cracks
Vertical Cracks
Vertical cracks run straight up and down and are often caused by minor foundation settling. While they may be less serious than other crack types, vertical cracks wider than 1/4 inch or that allow water infiltration should be repaired.
Horizontal Cracks
Horizontal cracks indicate serious foundation problems, often caused by hydrostatic pressure or soil movement pushing against the foundation wall. These cracks require immediate professional attention as they can lead to wall failure.
Diagonal (Stair-Step) Cracks
Diagonal cracks, especially stair-step patterns in brick or block walls, typically indicate differential foundation settlement. The foundation is settling unevenly, causing stress cracks to form at angles.
Hairline Cracks
Very thin hairline cracks are often caused by concrete curing or minor settling. While they may not be structural concerns, they can allow water infiltration and should be monitored for expansion.
Our Foundation Crack Repair Methods
Epoxy Injection
For structural cracks in poured concrete foundations, we use high-strength epoxy injection. The epoxy bonds the concrete together, restoring structural integrity and preventing water infiltration. This method is ideal for non-moving cracks that need permanent structural repair.
Polyurethane Foam Injection
Flexible polyurethane foam is excellent for sealing cracks that may experience minor movement. The foam expands to fill cracks completely and remains flexible, accommodating slight foundation movement while preventing water infiltration.
Carbon Fiber Reinforcement
For longer cracks or walls showing signs of bowing, we install carbon fiber reinforcement strips. These high-strength strips stabilize the wall, prevent further cracking, and reinforce the foundation structure.
Crack Sealing & Patching
For minor cosmetic cracks or surface cracks, professional sealing and patching prevents water infiltration and protects against crack expansion. We use high-quality sealants designed for foundation applications.
