Cracks in and around your home are very common, but they are not something you should ignore. Cracks can be a sign of your home’s foundation settling. This is a process in which the soil around your home moves and shifts due to water movement, which can make the foundation move producing cracks. This can cause cracking in your driveway, basement, garage, the exterior of your home, or even the drywall in your home. Luckily, there are many different types of solutions to these cracking problems. There are solutions such as helical pier installation, helical underpinning, slab piers, and crack injection. Each of these helps to keep your home’s foundation crack-free and wall cracks in control.
The foundation slab is the base of your home. It is what holds your home up, and like anything else in your home it goes through wear and tear from the elements around it. Though, unlike some other parts of your home, it shouldn’t wait to have repairs. The simple slab repair solution to a cracking or sinking slab is helical slab piers. Slab piers are installed through the slab, they are “screwed” into the ground and support the weight of the slab. These will help assure that your home’s foundation slab can withhold any weight that is put on it. Slab piers are a great solution to a slab that is giving way.
If it is a simple crack, there is also crack injection. It is a simple process where a substance is used to fill cracks. The substance expands to fill even the smallest of cracks. It is also a flexible material, so if the crack increases in size the substance will expand with it. This will keep out any water that may enter your crawlspace or basement. Crack injection is another great method of slab repair in North Carolina.
