What Causes A Foundation To Crack or Bow?

There are a number of reasons that a foundation wall crack. Common cracking that can be corrected using foundation carbon fiber is commonly caused by surrounding soil pressure around the foundation. This can be a result of expansive soils or large tree roots.

Cracking caused by foundation settling often has a corresponding crack on an opposite or adjacent foundation wall. These cracks are best repaired using stabilization methods that are installed at the footing of the foundation.
