Cracks in a slab foundation can be a serious issue. Small hairline cracks are generally not a cause for concern and can be easily repaired. However, larger cracks or cracks that are wider at one end than the other may indicate a more serious problem.
Cracks in a foundation can be caused by a variety of factors, such as settlement of the soil, poor construction, or water damage. If left untreated, these cracks will worsen over time and can lead to structural damage to your home, including uneven floors, sticking doors and windows, and even collapse in severe cases.
Fortunately, cracks in a foundation can be repaired. The best method of repair will depend on the cause of the crack and its severity.
